The Bourne Hexagon 8.8 is a starter blade whose main characteristic is power, which, added to the high rebound and great ball output, allows players who are taking their first steps in padel to improve their level quickly.
MATERIALS
The Bourne Hexagon 8.8 is manufactured with a low-hardness 38mm HYPERSOFT EVA core that is laminated through layers of fiberglass fabric. The heart is reinforced with carbon fiber fabric, impregnated with Varlion’s exclusive VAR-FLEX epoxy resin and covered with a layer of titanium dioxide.
SHAPE
This blade is made with the BOURNE shape, a hybrid that is born from the fusion of the traditional diamond (power blades) and teardrop (balanced blades) shapes. It is an exclusive form of Varlion that adds a control point to the offensive blades, giving us 60% power and 40% control.
AERODYNAMIC DRILLING
According to studies carried out in fluid software for aerodynamic studies, it has been shown that drilling the center of the blade generates turbulence, which is why the Bourne Hexagon 8.8 has a novel drilling system known as Aerodynamic Drilling.
Thanks to this technology we achieve more resistance in the core and greater homogeneity in the hits, which generates an increase in the sweet spot of the blade.
HANDLESAFETY TECHNOLOGY
Handlesafety is the security system that the handle of the blade has. Usually the blades are manufactured with a hole centered in the handle from which the rope comes out. This method sometimes fails and the situation may arise that the blade detaches from the string, causing an error in the game and a dangerous situation for all players.
Handlesafety technology has solved this problem, since the rope passes through the two walls of the handle and thus prevents the blade and the rope from separating. It also offers us extra comfort on the wrist.
