The Head Youtek Six Star racquet is part of the new game improvement Youtek Star Series and uses new Head technologies such as d3o, QuadFace, Control Ring and MultiZone grip in a user-friendly package. 107 sq. in. headsize, 9.6 ounce strung weight, 27.3 inch length, and 28/26mm wide beam add up to the most powerful racquet in the Youtek line. Optimal for a beginning to intermediate player with a slow to moderate swing speed.

HEAD YOUTEK TECHNOLOGY

YOUTEK combines superior technologies to perfectly match your individual needs. Whether your game is aggressive and adventurous or consistent and smooth, YOUTEK enhances your performance and brings out the best in you. YOUTEK incorporates different technologies to give you the individual benefits you need to match your playing style. In HEAD's tour racquets, YOUTEK includes d30, Grommets With Teflon friction reducing polymer and Aramid bumpers.

REWARD YOUR SPONTANEITY WITH d30

d30 belongs to the "smart materials" category and is a futuristic material with abmormal behavioral characteristics. More specifically, d30 changes its behaviour under dynamic loading or impact.

Integrated in the lay-up and positioned in the shaft area where the racquet flexes the most, d30 maximizes performance and offers new possibilities for players.

d30 is able to sense the needs of the players during different strokes. It's able to adapt to YOU. Upon high speed impacts,

On slow speed impacts, (slices or drop shots), the smart molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel. What does this mean for you? Your passing shots will have more pace, and your drop shots will be more precise; Head's YOUTEK racquets will reward your decisions by enhancing each shot.

HEAD GROMMETS WITH FRICTION REDUCING TEFLON POLYMER

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a string when it comes into contact with a grommet. The new HEAD Grommets with Teflon® friction reducing polymer creates a self-lubricating effect in the base material, allowing the strings to slide through the grommets with nearly no friction for much less energy loss and much more power.

Conventional Grommets

Friction is present between the grommet and the string providing some degree of resistance during ball impact resulting in energy loss and less power.

HEAD Grommets with Teflon Friction Reducing Polymer

The Teflon friction reducing polymer provides a low-friction contact surface, enabling the strings to slide through the grommets with nearly no friction. Moving without resistance, the strings maintain their energy during ball impact, providing more power.

During the stringing process, the Teflon friction reducing polymer in the grommet system allows more even and consistent tension. The HEAD grommet system takes this friction away allowing a more true tension providing larger sweetspot!

QUAD FACE

Quad Face extends the stringbed at key points of the frame, providing longer strings and an enlarged sweetspot that results in more power, says Head. "Inner QuadFace" is an indentation on the inside of the frame that allows the strings to be more flexible before reaching the grommets for a more forgiving sweetspot. "Outer Quadface" exends the outside of the frame to allow the strings to be longer, providing more consistent power.

CONTROL RING

The"Control Ring" — either two-piece or four-piece, depending on the racquet model — is designed to reduce string deformation for added control and accuracy. The third new technology is the “MultiZone Grip,” a smooth, sweat-absorbing nonslip surface for greater comfort and control.
