The tournament flagship. Extra head-heavy and extra stiff — the least forgiving and the most rewarding frame in the rack. Built for a grooved, full-speed swing that never shortens.

Why we picked it

The case for this frame.

The flagship, and the least forgiving frame we stock. We picked the 100ZZ for the grooved player: 308mm and an extra-stiff 2G-Namd shaft demand a full, repeatable swing and, in return, give the steepest and most precise smash in the rack.

★★★★★

“Uncompromising. If your technique is grooved this is the most precise, steepest smash you can buy. The 2G-Namd shaft loads and releases identically every rep — utterly repeatable.”

“The reward is real but you must earn it. Extra stiff, extra head-heavy, and it exposes any laziness in the swing — demand a full grooved motion or your clears fall short.”

Ingrid V. Verified buyerNational masters
★★★★★

“Not a beginner's frame and it doesn't pretend to be. At 308mm it hits like a hammer once your timing is there.”

Questions

Before you buy.

Do you string the racket before it ships?

Yes. Every frame is strung in-house to your chosen tension inside the 20–29 lb range and rests a full day before it goes in the box. Prefer it bare? Add a note at checkout and we ship it unstrung with the grommets untouched.

How do I choose grip size — G4 or G5?

G5 is the slimmer standard adult grip most players start on; G4 is one size larger for bigger hands or anyone who builds up with an overgrip. When in doubt, pick G5 and fine-tune with an overgrip.

How fast does it ship, and what does it cost?

In-stock frames leave the workshop the next business day. Shipping is free over $75 and a flat $6 under that, with tracking sent the moment the label prints.

What if it doesn't suit my game?

Every frame comes with a 30-day play test. If it fights your swing, send it back within 30 days for a full refund or a swap to another frame — we cover the return label.
