New Varlion padel racket of professional level totally revolutionary and innovative, which has been developed and manufactured under a new shape and different technology.

BOURNE padel racket was launched for the first time in 2018, as a result of merging the CAÑON racket, a diamond shape created in 2001, and AVANT racket, a teardrop shape created in 2009. We achieve a racket that is focused on players who need a further touch more of power than control. The BOURNE form is also a registered trademark of Varlion in the European Union.

In this racket you will also find the new PRISMA frame (patented in Spanish Patent and Trademark Office with number 202030114). Thanks to the fact that the frame is shaped like a prism, we managed to reduce by 90% the contact point of the frame against walls and surfaces. In addition, air resistance has been reduced by 10% compared to our Hexagon frame or the other conventional frames, according to the study carried out in a wind tunnel.
These changes translate into a better maneuverability of the racket and greater acceleration capacity in all shots. To see more information about Prisma frame, click here.

On the other hand, in order to make the new Prisma frame resistant with its very particular design, we had to reinforce its construction in the most fragile point (the head) through a new adhesive injected bumper, called PRISMA bumper, with an exclusive design that perfectly matches the prism shape. This new bumper not only covers the outermost point of the frame, but also the edge and its union with the racket surface.
Its design has been taken care of down to the smallest detail so that the weight is as low as possible (7 grs) and it also serves as an anti-vibrator thanks to the fact that it is completely adhered to the frame through a 3M tape.
The Prisma bumper is patented in Spanish Patent and Trademark Office.

As if that were not enough, this new racket includes a new surface texture in the plane, called SLICE, which has been designed and developed with a series of curved lines that hook the ball surface, considerably increasing the effect that other rackets achieve in each shot.
This new rough texture is patented in Spanish Patent and Trademark Office. If you want to see more detailed information, click here.

As its name suggests, the new Maxima Summum Prisma Radio racket includes SUMMUM technology in its construction, which is based on a combination of several factors:

  • Its handle is longer than the usual ones, to provide the player with a more comfortable and professional grip, thus avoiding having to put the overgrip over it, and also to facilitate grip for players who use both hands.

  • 1 cm longer hitting surface

  • A gradual perforation pattern with more holes (76 in total), to improve and expand the sweet spot of the racket.

  • And Wings Diffuser technology in the heart, with an aerodynamically improved diffuser which provides more handling and precision to the racket.

In addition, to solve the changes that temperature exerts on racket materials, this model has been manufactured with two types of rubber: a softer one, called "W", recommended to be used at low temperatures or up to 25ºC / 77ºFF; and a harder one, called "S", recommended for use at temperatures above 25ºC / 77ºF.
In this way, it is recommended to carry both rackets in the bag in order that the player will use one model or another, depending on the ambient temperature. For more information about temperatures, click here.

And finally, it is worth noting the new security system on the handle, called HANDLESAFETY.
Normally, all rackets have a central exit hole for the placement of the rope, which is fixed to the structure of the handle by means of a pin, rivets, nails, etc. However, with this new system, the rope goes through the three walls of the handle, thus giving 100% grip security, and comes out on both sides of the bar, so that the player will no longer have to twist it to feel more comfort in the game.
This new security system is patented in Spanish Patent and Trademark Office.

A total of six patents, five of them completely new, support the exclusivity of these technologies and the inventions made, as a result of the investment in research, design, development and investment that Varlion has been making continuously for 27 years.

PRISMA FRAME

New revolutionary prism-shaped frame, designed and implemented in the two new Maxima Summum Prisma and Bourne Summum Prisma rackets.

After performing an aerodynamic study in a wind tunnel, it has been shown that it has 10% less wind resistance compared to the Hexagon frame and the conventional frames of the other rackets. This change translates into better manageability and a higher speed of movement of the rackets, which allows greater acceleration and speed of play.

The design of this frame requires special manufacturing to make it more rigid and resistant, in addition to a specific injected adhesive bumper.

Technology patented and registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office under Utility model No. 202030114 extensible to other countries.

SLICE

New rough texture for the racket surface. As its name suggests, it is specially designed for backhand or drive shots with slice or cuts.

In its design, a series of curved lines have been arranged for right-handed players, which are duplicated in the opposite direction for left-handed players, so that the lines hook the ball and increase its effect.

When compared to a tennis racket, the hook is even greater, since the strings of the racket are straight and horizontal in the shape of a cross generating a square. But in tue case of Slice technology, lines are designed with a curved shape, since the surface of the ball that is in contact with such lines is much larger.

Technology patented and registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office extensible to other countries.

SUMMUM

Summum technology is based on the sum of four great innovations launched in 2018, which give rise to the most complete and highest level racket of the collection:

  • Longer grip. The grip is 14.50 cm long (the usual ones are between 11 and 12.50 cm), providing the player with more space to handle, especially for tennis players or players who use both hands.

  • Wings Diffuser. Diffuser designed under the silhouette of an airplane wing profile, to which we have also added a turbulator, used in the wings of airplanes and the spoilers of F1 cars to obtain a better control of air flow. The result is a 27% improvement in the speed, precision and control of the air passage compared to the previous Diffuser.

  • Greater hitting surface. The hitting area is 1.5 cm wider compared to the other racket, so you will gain much more control and responsiveness in your game. This expansion is also achieved thanks to the fact that we have drilled the entire surface of the racket, with a functional drilling design that increases the number of holes in total from 68 to 76.

  • Increased height and surface in rough texture. The rough texture of the plane (Hexatex and Slice technologies) is higher and wider, so you can further increase the effect on the ball. In addition, thanks to its greater surface area, you can now achieve impossible shots even if the ball lands further from the center of the racket.

TEMPERATURAS

The environmental temperature directly influences the behavior of a padel racket, altering its hardness and flexibility. This situation causes changes and instability in our game.

To solve this problem, the higher ranges models have been manufactured in duplicate (a "W" version of Winter, and another "S" version of Summer), with enough technical differences in the construction of its core to play with one version or another depending on the ambient temperature:

  • At high temperatures the materials soften, especially the foam or EVA of the core, thus changing the rackets performance. Therefore, the rackets with the red thermometer or the letter "S" incorporate materials with a lower elasticity and hardness, so the behavior of the racket will be ideal with temperatures from 25ºC / 77ºF.

  • At low temperatures, just the opposite occurs: the core hardens and gains control, but it loses noticeably flexibility, so to obtain a good behavior you should choose the racket with the blue thermometer or the letter "W", recommended for playing with lower temperatures at 25ºC / 77º F, since they incorporate materials with greater mechanical elasticity.

DIFUSOR WINGS

Technology developed with the aim of directing the air flow in the only "treatable" area of the racket where the air passes through, its heart. The advantages of this technology are:

  • Increased player speed on both quick hits and smash.

  • Greater hitting regularity by making the trajectory more constant, thanks to the zero influence of the turbulences that conventional rackets normally have in the heart area.

  • Greater number of blows with more control, also thanks to the reduction of said turbulence.

Its design is inspired by the diffuser that included the Formula 1 Brawn GP team for the first time on the rear and bottom of the car.

7 RHOMBUS CARBON FABRIC

12K carbon fiber fabric in a rhomboid shape, to a greater flexibility in the core.

PRISMA BUMPER

New adhesive bumper designed exclusively for Prisma frame models of 20.1 collection. This bumper has been designed and produced through an injection mold in a low hardness PTU to absorb shocks and chafing.

It is fixed on the racket frame by means of an adhesive material without the need to drill into the frame and thus avoiding having to weaken it for its fixing. Consequently, possible vibrations of the bumper are eliminated and we achieve a total twinning between the racket frame and the lower surface of the bumper.

Technology patented and registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office extensible to other countries.
