Ever wonder what Cross Bow technology really means? In the impact of the tennis ball, the bridge flexes independently of the racket, absorbing the energy of the ball. As you continue, the bridge releases the energy it absorbed and fires it toward the strike, much like a spring or bow. How ironic, right? However, this technology is on the rise and Head has developed rackets that can harness the energy of the ball and offer maximum control over the ball so you can place it wherever you want.

For example, the Head Airflow line, which was developed for women, offers this technology. The Head Airflow 5 in particular is an extremely solid racket that has three main components made for women. Balance, light power and ergonomic grip.

The traditional racquet is often head heavy, however the Head Airflow 5 has relocated much of the weight around the bridge offering a lighter head for increased maneuverability.

When it comes to tennis, the terms “light” and “powerful” don’t necessarily go hand in hand. However, when it comes to Head Airflow 5, these two words go together spaghetti and meatballs or like Roger Federer and Wimbledon. Regardless, women tend to prefer a lightweight racket that can still get the job done and hit that game-winning shot and this racket can certainly do just that thanks to the new balance.

An ergonomic grip is the final component of this racket. It goes without saying that a woman’s hand is different from a man’s. This grip was developed to be thin at the top and thick at the bottom to fit a woman’s hand, reducing twisting and twisting, as well as strain on the arm.

So ladies, when you think you’re stuck in a man’s world, think again because there are definitely people out there looking out for you. So don’t settle for that bulky and heavy men’s racket. Head’s Airflow 5 is here to save the day along with some of his closest friends.
