Varlion Bourne Prisma Airflow W Padel Racket

Varlion Bourne Prisma Airflow W is a power racket with a head shape between diamond and teardrop tailored for experienced and professional padel players.

The racket's particular head shape stems from Varlion's Bourne model back in 2018, which was created as a fusion between the Cañon (diamond shape from 1995) and Avant (drop shape from 2009). As a result, Varlion created a drop-shaped bat designed for players looking for control in their game without losing power.

This top racket in Varlion's range features their Prisma frame, which reduces the frame's contact point against walls and surfaces by 90% as well as reducing air resistance by 10%. To reinforce the racket's most vulnerable point, the head, Varlion have fitted their self-adhesive Prisma bumper which adapts perfectly to the racket's head shape.

As for the impact in your shots, they have implemented a rough texture in the surface, Varlion's Slice technology, which is designed with a series of curved lines that give the racket an improved grip in the ball.

Be aware that Varlion offers two rackets in the Bourne Summum Prisma Airflow series, ending in a W and an S respectively. Therefore, to eliminate the impact of temperature on the racket's playing characteristics, it has been produced with two types of rubber - a soft "W" and a harder "S". The Varlion Bourne Prisma Airflow W is designed for play in temperatures from 25 degrees and below, while the Varlion Bourne Prisma Airflow S is designed for padel in heat levels from 25 and up.

The racket also includes Summum technology, which includes several benefits including:

• A longer grip than normal to give the player a more comfortable and professional grip as well as to make it easier to use two-handed backhands.
• A 1 cm longer striking surface.
• The Wings Diffuser technology at the heart of the racket, via improved aerodynamics, gives you more manoeuvrability and precision.
• Varlion Handlesafety technology is a new safety system implemented in the shaft. With this system, the strap passes through both "walls" of the shaft, providing greater safety and comfort.
