ITC Premier XQ

– Conventional 5-ply or 7-ply “Hinoki” blades have been loved by enthusiasts. But, those blades has not been generally accepted by usual players due to the lack of balance between rebound and speed. Actual rebound is relatively low, and the feeling of blade center is too hard. XQ is the solution for improvement.
– Among 5 layers of plywood, Hinoki is applied to 4 layers – two top layers and two middle layers. Lightweight African wood is applide to center layer. Overall thickness is increased to 6.2mm for the improvement of rebound speed.
– The result is higher speed and better feeling without the increase of weight.
