Head YouTek Power Helix 8000 Badminton Racket

The Head YouTek Power Helix 8000 badminton racket features the innovative Helix shaft tecnology combined with Metallix material in the racket head and T-joint which guarantees outstanding power and control. Allowing the player maximum speed, power and manoeuverability.

Power Helix

Power Helix is a unique spiral structure along the entire shaft that guarantees up to 56% more flexibility than usual carbon components. That generates a huge power release for incredibly fast shots while still providing maximum control.

Metallix Technology

HEAD Metallix consists of a specially designed matrix of carbon fibres and a crystalline metal alloy. The alloy’s smaller grain size translates into a stronger material for improved performance. Metallix is incorporated into the graphite layers and the T-joint.

Energy Body

Energy Body is a unique frame design with an extra-slim racket head. It lessens air resistance for better manoeuvrability, increased speed, and much more power.

Teflon

Friction is the greatest enemy of power. It’s a force that restricts the movement of the string, resulting in a leak of impact energy. To counter this problem HEAD has developed grommets with friction-reducing Teflon polymer. At the 12, 6, 3 and 9 o’clock positions, Teflon provides a low-friction surface between strings and grommets for a consistent tension across the string bed, enlarging the sweetspot and practically eliminating the loss of impact energy.
