nCode is launched: Potential is unlocked

3. 2004 nCode is launched: Potential is unlocked Players break the code to discover the benefit of nanotechnology for 2 X more strength 2 X more stable 22% more power

4. 2[K]7 what’s the difference? [K] Factor is released: Take [K]ontrol The game and players are factored. A new dimension of [K]ontrol is discovered because Power without [K]ontrol is nothing [K]ontrol of the game, the ball, the opponent [K] Factor = More [K]ontrolled Power

5. What’s ?

6. ENVIRONMENT before Power, status, excess Conscientious, efficient, clean Thoughtful, healthier, cleaner Polluting, selfish, expensive

7. TECHNOLOGY before Sustainable, environmental, durable Synthetic, toxic, non biodegradable

8. PEOPLE before Steroids, bulk, superficial Natural, control, inner-self

9. FEEL CONNECTED

11. EXTERNAL Changes before : 15 : 21 Long rallies, unpredictable Shorter rallies, shorter game

12. EXTERNAL Changes • Scoring systemhas changedfrom 15-point to 21-point • PAR (Points-a-Rally) introduced • Game has changed its characteristics and dynamics • Outcome and Resultare more diverse • Length of matchshorter &more predictable • Training and preparation have changed • Matches have gotten shorter

13. ”When you hold the racket in your hand, youfeelthe racket or not” “The right feeling comes with the right sound when hitting the ball.” “The racket has got to feel like the extension of your arm.” “You have to be able to feel the shuttle through your racket.” “Control and precision have to be right.” “I can’t describe the feel. It just has to fit my playing style.” “The racket has to submit good feedback.”

14. Common definition of feel Our study shows common elements from which we can create the following definition: Feel is the impact information transferred into the player's hand. It determines the ability to sense the ball coming off the strings to better control the shot. This is what connects shuttle, racket, and player's hand together.

15. Technology… What if the new revolution combines different technologies to provide the perfect feel for each player type ? Design… What if the new revolution sources its inspiration from natural element to express a natural feel? Material… What if the new revolution is engineered from a natural element when added to the matrix turns natural Feel into Golden Touch? This element exist… it’s a rock…

16. BASALT • Basaltis a natural volcanic rock • Basaltcan be used in manufacturing and made into fine and ultra fine gold fibers. • Basalt fibers are environmentally friendly and superior to other fibers in terms of thermal stability, sound insulation, vibration resistance and durability.

17. BASALT (BL) is connected with other variables

18. Basalt (BL) and other variables, X elements are all connected for the perfect feel X > > The NEXT revolution is born for 20X…

20. definition BLX is the new Wilson racket technology engineered with BASALT fibers combining proprietary frame, grommet and grip technologies for THE PERFECT FEEL.

22. 1MATERIAL

23. = 1 material Basalt fibers are woven longitudinally with [K]arophite Black to create the most advanced composite in the industry. It offers unmatched frequency reduction while retaining carbon fiber performance in terms of lightness, responsiveness, stability and rigidity. Feel is redefined

24. Like noise-cancelling headphones are filtering out unwanted external noise, Basalt added to the matrix filters the unwanted extreme frequencies that reach the hand. The racket’s ability to transfer impact information is substantially improved. = 1 material

25. A smoother signal reaches the hand. BLX technology delivers a clean feedback and better sensation for the perfect FEEL ! = 1 material
