  - CurvAktiv: CurvAktiv has been optimized in the new Vertex 05, extending the incidence of its planes by 11 degrees to reach a total inclination of 31.6 degrees. This increased twist on the side faces generates a deeper variable section along the profile, creating a unique and highly efficient variable section twisted structure. The result is a racket with a more balanced distribution of vibrations, capable of working better in two directions: greater structural solidity and greater reactivity with each shot, making you perceive immediate comfort, with a more lively and controlled response in every aspect of the game.
  - Air Power: AIR POWER is the natural evolution of the Air React Channel system. With this new technology, we have increased the size of the channel at the bottom of the frame by 50%. How we do it By increasing the length of the surfaces involved in the hollow structure. This makes the Air Power Zone much more efficient than a full blade or its previous version, the Air React Channel. With Air Power we have added even more energy return in shots, more agility, lighter weight and greater acceleration, making the new Vertex 05 Geo a more reactive, stable, aerodynamic and manageable racket.
  - Air Power + Curvaktiv: The Vertex 05 Geo combines Air Power and Curv:Aktiv technologies to deliver total performance, creating the most balanced and complete racket ever developed by our brand. Curv:Aktiv enhances the Coanda effect, channeling air into the Air Power system, reducing drag and improving the aerodynamics of the racket by up to 23%. The result is a more agile racket with greater acceleration capacity, which translates into impeccable handling, absolute control and exceptional responsiveness with every shot.
  - Vertex Core: The same essence, taken to the next level. The new Vertex heart, characterized by its double diagonal bridge, has been completely redesigned compared to its predecessor, obtaining a more triangular geometry that optimally distributes forces between the edges. This reduces vibration, minimizes torsion and significantly increases body rigidity. As part of this structural evolution, the volume in the lower area has been increased, making it thicker and more solid, while the final part of the heart has been slightly enlarged, incorporating a small amount of extra volume. These improvements strengthen the connection between the frame and the surface, optimize energy transmission and provide a more solid and stable feel with every shot. The result is a racket that allows players to perform at their best both from the baseline and at the net, enjoying more precise control, greater stability and a solid feel with every shot.
  - Geometric shape: The Vertex 05 Geo exceeds expectations, introducing the Total Play Max concept. With a geometric frame and a high-strength carbon structure, this racket offers a perfect combination in every aspect of the game. To achieve this, a larger frame at the 2 and 10 o'clock positions was created along with the bottom of the mold, increasing the contact surface with the ball, up to a playing surface of 541cm, the largest in the history of our collection. This larger surface area offers a larger sweet spot, greater forgiveness on off-center impacts and a more confident control feel, allowing you to execute precise, powerful shots with greater consistency. If you are an offensive player looking to dominate the aerial phase of the game, the Vertex 05 Geo will enhance your offensive capabilities while maintaining balanced defensive and control performance. A racket that becomes a natural extension of your game, taking your performance to new levels.
  - Ease Vibe: Ease Vibe shock absorbers are cutting-edge devices, designed to optimize your performance on the padel court. Integrated into four strategic holes in the racket, the Ease Vibe shock absorbers have undergone rigorous studies by the Polytechnic University of Madrid, demonstrating their ability to absorb up to 49% of the vibrations produced during impact with the ball.
  - Custom Weight: The CustomWeight weighting system consists of gel or aluminum coated plates weighing 3g each, which provide extra weight at specific points where they are placed. This allows us to modify the balance of the racket according to the needs of each player. The frame of the Vertex 05 Geo is designed to accommodate a total of three weights on the top of the racket. This allows for different specifications, up to 9g heavier and a balance variation of +/- 1cm.
  - Superior effect: The Vertex 05 Geo increases the amount of grain in the last layer of the racket face, resulting in a more pronounced and precise spin that will allow you to dominate every shot. This increase in grain not only improves aggressive spin generation on slices, volleys, layups and smashes, but also makes this technology more durable over time, ensuring superior and consistent performance for more games.
  - Hesacore: Discover the new Hesacore with its updated formula to further protect your game. With the new Hesacore, you no longer have to worry about arm discomfort or unwanted vibrations, as our improved anti-vibration elastomer filters and minimizes these sensations, allowing you to focus on your performance without distractions. Its ergonomic honeycomb design creates a larger contact surface between the hand and the handle. This allows your fingers to rest on the concave surfaces, reducing strain and injury, whilst providing a firm, comfortable grip that allows you to maintain complete control of the paddle at all times.
  - Vibradrive: Vibradrive is characterized by the insertion of a highly elastic elastomer which fragments the handle along its longitudinal axis. The use of this elastomer is essential to optimize the player's performance. The exceptional elasticity of the material used, combined with its strategic positioning, makes Vibradrive an essential element for the absorption of vibrations, especially in off-center shot situations.
  - Xtend-Carbon 3K: The Vertex 05 Geo incorporates X-TEND 3K carbon, composed of 3,000 filaments per strand, which allows for a compact and uniform structure, offering a solid feel. This structure maximizes energy transfer with each shot, reducing losses and ensuring total control and power on the ball. Its closed weave guarantees homogeneous mechanical properties, allowing you to place the ball with precision and dominate every action.
  - Multieva: The core of this padel racket has been designed with a "sandwich" structure, composed of three layers of EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate) of different densities, carefully adapted to optimize performance in every game situation. 1. External layers: the two external layers, made of high density and rigidity EVA, are designed to maximize power in the most explosive shots, offering a quick and powerful response when hitting the ball. 2. Inner Layer: The inner layer, made of softer, low-density EVA, acts as a shock-absorbing core, increasing forgiveness and comfort on low-speed shots. This internal softness not only improves the feel of the shot, but also helps reduce vibrations, decreasing the risk of injury and offering greater control on more delicate shots.
