ORBIT - BARKIE - Carbon
€100,00 EUR
~ Amsterdam allure, next-level performance ~
Our boldest racket: the Barkie. A striking blue-and-yellow racket with a bold design, made not for doubters but for players with courage. Built for power play on and off the court. When you play with the Barkie, you play to win.
Technology
With its AeroSpin holes, the Barkie has an optimal hole pattern that improves aerodynamics. The 3D hexagonal pattern increases your spin and grip, while the CarbonX frame delivers the perfect stiffness and precision. This lets you put as much spin on the ball as your opponent.
Material and shape
Both the frame and the face are made from 100% DuraCarbon: a lightweight yet ultra-strong material for maximum power and durability. The EVA Blackcore core provides the right blend of power and control, ideal for both controlled and attacking play. The teardrop shape positions the sweet spot slightly higher on the racket for extra power.
Design
Make an impression on the court with this striking yellow-and-blue racket. The ice print sets the tone for ice-cold shots and power play on and off the court. With metallic yellow in the frame and St Andrew’s crosses, you step onto the court with unmistakable Amsterdam swagger. And the best part? It only costs you a barkie!
