Varlion MAXIMA Prisma Airflow W

Maxima is a model that was born in 2020 from the fusion between the LW (rounded shape created in 1995) and the Avant (teardrop shape created in 2009). As a result, we achieved a rounded teardrop-shaped racket, designed for players who seek control in their game without losing power.

The Airflow technology was developed in the Radio Collection 2022 racquets, now it was innovated with a new core construction for the new AIRFLOW 2023 including the elongated and circular hole system used in the Radio. This new construction, according to all the tests carried out with amateur and PRO players, transforms the racket into an excellent tool for medium and high level amateurs, being a racket that really helps to obtain more power in all their strokes.

This professional-level racket has the PRISMA frame, with which we manage to reduce the contact point of the frame against walls and surfaces by 90%, as well as 10% air resistance. All this means better maneuverability of the racket and greater acceleration capacity on hits.

On the other hand, we have reinforced its most fragile point (the head) with an adhesive bumper that adapts perfectly to its shape, the Prisma bumper. This not only covers the frame, but also its connection with the plane of the racket.

Another novelty in the 2023 Collection will be the rough texture on the plane called Slice, which has been designed and developed with a series of curved lines that get the surface of the ball to hook more to them. In these rackets, the rough is more pronounced than in all the rackets of the Summum 2022 Range.

In addition, to eliminate the influence of temperature on racket’s materials, this model has been manufactured with two types of rubber: a softer one, called "W", recommended to be used at low temperatures or up to 25ºC / 77ºFF; and a harder one, called "S", recommended to be used at temperatures above 25ºC / 77ºF.
For this reason, we recommend to carry both rackets in the bag so that the player uses one model or another, depending on the ambient temperature. 

As its name suggests, the Maxima Summum Prisma includes Summum technology in its construction, which is based on the sum of several factors:

- A longer grip than usual to provide the player with a more comfortable and professional grip, and also to make it easier for those who use both hands on backhand shots. 

- A 1 cm longer striking surface.

- And the Wings Diffuser technology in the heart, with an aerodynamically improved diffuser, which provides more maneuverability and precision.

And finally, it is worth highlighting the Handlesafety technology, a new safety system for the handle. Normally, in all rackets the rope comes out from a centered hole which is attached to the handle frame by means of a pin, rivets, nails, etc. However, with this system, the rope goes through the two walls of the handle and comes out on both sides of the tip, thus giving 100% safety and comfort to the grip.
