The Talbot Torro "Isoforce 1011.8" – an ultralight performance racquet
Weighing in at just 80 g, the Talbot Torro "Isoforce 1011.8" is an ultralight and flexible performance badminton racquet. It features a slim-profiled, high-modulus graphite frame that's reinforced with Kevlar, as well as a graphite handle and a medium-stiff, reduced-diameter shaft, making it is suitable for all playing styles.

Product information

• Material: high-modulus graphite, reinforced with Kevlar
• Head shape: ISO Plus
• Stringing: multifile, Galaxy string
• Length: 68 cm
• Weight: 80 g

Features:

• Two-piece design – The shaft and frame are manufactured separately following high-tech production processes, which allows the shaft flexibility and frame stiffness to be fine-tuned to exacting standards.
• Carbon4 with Kevlar – The high-modulus 30t graphite used, which is reinforced with Kevlar, enables higher string tension, resulting in greater power.
• Mega Power Zone (MPZ) – Larger grommet holes on the right and left sides of the frame create a Mega Power Zone. These larger holes allow the strings to swing more freely, generating a higher rebound effect in the sweet spot area and thus delivering more power.
• Power Waves – The wave-like shapes on the outside of the frame minimise the frictional resistance where the strings pass through the grommets, reducing the strain on the strings. This results in an increased trampoline effect and maximises shuttlecock acceleration by approx. 5%.
• Graphite handle – Instead of a conventional wooden handle, this racquet features a hollow graphite handle, making it approx. 5 g lighter and shifting the centre of balance closer to the head. This racquet is therefore not only ultralight, it also capable of delivering a great amount of power.
• Head-light – As mentioned above, the centre of balance is closer to the racquet head, which results in greater shuttlecock acceleration.
• Slim shaft – The shaft diameter is approx. 0.5 mm smaller. This makes the racquet ultralight and reduces air resistance while increasing the racquet’s flexibility – which results in top handling and increased speed.
