T0 Hex is produced with TechnoFusion — our moldless, digitally controlled additive-composite process, built from zero, in-house in the EU.

Carbon laminate bonded to a hexagonal lattice, macro

T0 Hex is our flagship. It’s the first product made with TechnoFusion, the moldless production method we built to make equipment to a measured number instead of an average. Every T0 Hex is the proof it works: made without a mold, measured on its own, shipped with its own numbers. Series Zero is where that proof starts.

No mold. No model years.

A molded racket stays fixed to its tool until a new tool is cut. T0 Hex has no mold, so when we improve how it’s built or finished, the next unit gets it.

Unit to unit, we improve how it’s built — never the spec. Series to series, the spec can move, and Series Zero owners hear first.

Removed
  • Hard molds
  • Fixed tooling geometry
  • Batch-averaged shapes
  • Hours of manual labor and its variation
Gained
  • Per-unit configuration at production time
  • Tighter process control and QC
  • Structures and material distribution conventional molding can’t produce
  • A more sustainable build — no molds, less hand labor, far less waste

The advantage isn’t one detail. It’s a hard-to-copy system — construction, process, parameters, measurement and IP, together.

The technologies.

01

CARBON DOMINANT FACE

Stiff, light, responsive.

The striking face is built carbon-first: high fiber density, resin held to what the structure needs. The face is stiff and light, so it returns energy rather than absorbing it — resin adds mass without adding response. Mass saved here is not lost; it goes where it does more work.

02

COUPLED CORE

Core and face, engineered as one.

Core and face are designed together as one structure, not chosen apart and bonded afterwards. The pairing exists to exploit what TechnoFusion allows: core density matched to face stiffness, so structural mass is placed on purpose rather than inherited from a mold — dense and uniform where the ball lands, and free to be moved outward where the face does not need it.

03

CONCAVE HOOP

A bigger face inside the same width.

The hoop section is drawn inward instead of bulging outward. Inside the same legal width, less of the frame is dead perimeter and more of the face works — the effective sweet spot grows without growing the racket.

04

SECOND GRIP

A control point for your other hand.

The throat is shaped concave on purpose, giving your non-dominant hand a designed place to hold and guide the head. In padel there is rarely time for a full swing — that hand steadies the frame and sets the shot, and it counts most on the backhand and on fast defensive returns.

05

HEX THROAT

Load paths, designed in.

A conventional throat is one stiff junction. The hex grid replaces it with defined load paths, controlling how force and vibration travel into the handle. It also does something a solid throat can’t: catch the ball on the throat and the grid still returns a controlled shot, instead of a random rebound.

06

DWELL ZONE

Flex placed, not left to chance.

The hex throat and the coupled core are tuned to flex in defined zones, so the face loads and releases through the shot rather than snapping back instantly. The design intent is a longer moment of contact — more time for the face to load and return energy, and more time for you to work the ball.

07

FOUR FITS

Shape and end, built in.

Two choices — the shape of the grip and the end of the handle — make four fits: INDEX, DRIVE, GLIDE, SWEEP. Built into the racket at production time, not corrected later with stacked overgrips.

08

ZERO DRIFT

Numbers that hold, unit to unit.

Mass is built to the target you set. Swingweight — how heavy the racket feels when you swing it — is what decides how a racket plays, and most makers let it drift from unit to unit. We build and measure every racket ourselves, so the next one feels like the one you loved.

Carbon Dominant Face

Proprietary carbon face laminate

Coupled Core

Core and face, matched as one system

Everything you feel at contact — how the ball loads in, how fast it leaves, how clean the touch is — is decided by the pairing of the foam core and the carbon face stack. Ours is a proprietary pairing: core and plies selected and tuned together for energy return, consistency, and sweet spot. TechnoFusion is what makes the pairing possible, and what molding can’t reproduce.

The principles are open. The recipe stays ours.

What you feel What drives it
Energy return High fiber density, low resin mass — the fiber does the work; excess resin adds mass, not response.
Consistency A dense, uniform core under the whole face — the same response, shot after shot.
Sweet spot Structural mass concentrated in the hitting zone — fiber working where the ball actually lands.

Second Grip

The concave throat

The throat — the part that joins the head to the handle, which padel coaches call the “heart” of the racket — is where your non-dominant hand rests. We shaped it concave on purpose: it bridges head and handle and gives your free hand a secure, ergonomic place to hold and guide the racket.

Your non-dominant hand on the throat controls the racket head — it sets your shoulder turn, steadies the frame, and helps you play a compact, controlled shot.

Hex Throat

Hex grid load paths

Load-path control is the feel: engineered and repeatable, designed in rather than left to the layup.

A handle that fits your hand.

The four T0 Hex handle fits — wrapped handles in a row.
Handle ends seen face-on — octagonal grips (A, B) versus oval grips (C, D).
Shape · octagonal vs ovalOctagonal grips (A, B) have flat sides you can feel, so you always know where the face points. Oval grips (C, D) are rounder and turn more easily in the hand — quicker grip changes.
Handle ends from the side — standard end (A, C) versus flared end (B, D).
End · standard vs flaredA standard end (A, C) sits flush for a clean feel. A flared end (B, D) gives your palm something to push against — extra leverage on smashes and overheads.
A · INDEX
Octagonal · standard end

Easy to find the face; clean, all-round feel.

B · DRIVE
Octagonal · flared end

Flat-sided grip with a flared end that locks into your palm — extra leverage on smashes and overheads.

C · GLIDE
Oval · standard end

Turns easily in the hand for fast grip changes.

D · SWEEP
Oval · flared end

Rounder grip with a flared end — fast grip changes plus palm leverage on the overhead.

The four handle caps from above — octagonal (A, B) and oval (C, D).

Zero Drift

Mass and swingweight, held unit to unit

Weight is how heavy the racket is on the scale. Two rackets can weigh the same and swing completely differently.

Lighter to swing = faster and easier to react; heavier to swing = more power and more stability on contact.

Educational diagram — how mass distribution changes swingweight, the weight you feel when you swing.

What you feel in a racket is structure, material selection, material distribution, mass and swingweight. We control all five. We measure two on every unit.
