The new Destiny FCS system has the combination of a new round shaft design and a wider elliptic shaped head. The racket has been enhanced with extra stiffness placed at two locations in the shaft to produce the proper flex. The head delivers stability and torsional resistance and the round shaft gives proper flex, power and control. Evolution of SPIRAL TECH CARBON Pro Kennex creates a new combination of materials, the Pro Kennex Spiral Tech graphite Carbon, the evolution of the graphite. It’s a unique, space age blend of treated Spiral Tech Carbon and High Modulus Graphite, combined with Nano Epoxy. Spiral Graphite has exceptional dampening qualities to while High Modulus Graphi- te delivers the needed strength and power. Traditional graphite is characterized by a space between the layers; whereas in Spiral Tech Carbon, the graphite layers com- pletely cling to each other, combining with Nano Epoxy, which maximize playability and deliver the needed strength, power and control.

At constant string face, then control their shots, You can calculate the ball speed using the following formula: six central strings are longer than about 30 cm and offer explosiveness, power and control. Kinetic Energy = 1/2M(V2) The ball and strings now start releasing their stored energy causing the ball to go faster than the racket. At this moment, the energy release from the ball and strings triggers the kinetic mass. It explodes forward in all 100 chambers. This activated mass joins with the mass of the racket to increase the area of efficiency of the hitting Reduction of the TORQUE REDUCTION surface and magnify the possibilities of a good shot. torsion The shape of Delta not only gives power while maintaining control, but the inno- stabilizing the racket vative shape of the frame makes the same extremely rigid. In fact, the closed heart eliminates the torsion in the back of the racket at impact with the ball. Comfort and greater accuracy therefore derive from the great stability of the string.

This electro static condition inhibits the full potential of the Kinetic System. Our Scientists have discovered a way to eliminate electrostatic charges: through a process that uses static eliminators (called ionizers) it is possible to neutralize electro static charges. These anti-shock ionizers are electrically powered to produce a bulk of positive and negative ions.

Published: 13 February 2018 Abstract: Tennis rackets have advanced significantly since the invention of the game in 1874, including innovations in both shape and materials. Advances in these design parameters have implications for racket performance, especially swing speed. This study tested one hundred rackets, spanning brands and eras, using simple, portable instruments in order to pilot protocols and make recommendations for streamlining testing procedures for tennis rackets. A wide range of properties were measured and documented for each racket. We suggest that since Transverse and Lateral Moment of Inertia are well correlated, measuring both is not necessary when processing a large number of rackets. In addition, it is also possible to predict the Transverse Moment of Inertia well from models that use simple dimension and mass measurements, which may be preferable in larger studies.

    COMPETITION TRIBUNAL REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Case No: 62/LM/Jul05 In the large merger between: Massmart Holdings Limited Acquiring Firm And Moresport Limited Target Firm Reasons for Decision [NON-CONFIDENTIAL] ________________________________________________________________ PROHIBITION 1. On 10 April 2006 the Competition Tribunal prohibited the merger between Massmart Holdings Limited and Moresport Limited in terms of section 16(2)(c) read with Rule 35(5) of the Competition Act. The reasons for this decision appear below. THE PARTIES 2. The primary acquiring firm is Massmart Holdings Limited (ªMassmartº), a public company listed on the JSE. Though it is not controlled by any one group, the major shareholders of Massmart are: - Old Mutual Group 14.22% - Public Investment Commission 5.42% - Participants of the Massmart Holdings Share Trust 5.18% 3. Massmart controls and operates various divisions, grouped as follows: Massmart Holdings Massdiscounters Masswarehouse Massbuild Masscash Game Makro Builders Warehouse Shield Dion Federated Timbers Furnex CBW Servistar 1 Jumbo De la Ray's 4. Massmart is described by the merging parties as a high volume, low margin retailer of food, liquor and general merchandise. General merchandise encompasses a disparate array of products including office supplies, DIY equipment, hi-tech products, household appliances, sporting and recreational goods and categories of clothing. 5. While Massmart controls a number of chain stores across and retails a range of products, the relevant divisions for purposes of this transaction are its Masstores namely Makro, Game and Dion through which it retails a range of sports and recreational1 goods 6. Massmart's rapid growth as a national retailer is to large extent due to a number of acquisitions it has made over the last 18 years.2.
