Missions accomplished - HEAD quality in balls

33% longer lasting*: The new Encore™ Technology

Encore™ Technology is based on a blend of natural and man-made polymers in a core that limits ball softening. This allows the ball to stay fresher longer and play “like new” longer. Players will feel like they are playing with new tennis balls, even if they have been opened for weeks.


19 % greater visibility**: The SmartOptik™ Felt

The player, the racquet and the ball form a system.
A precise game depends on many factors within this system. HEAD has developed innovative racquet technologies such as HEAD Flexpoint™ which, aside from the all-important power, also offer optimal ball control. Now, by further developing the game’s other component, the ball, we’ve also improved precision. With SmartOptik™
Felt, the ball is 19 % more visible*, the game more precise and controlled and the consumers more satisfied.
