Product Description


The Protector Oversized tennis racquet comes pre-strung. Head developed the first system to incorporate state of the art racquet, string, and grip technologies expressly for the needs of the players with tennis elbow. High-tech piezoelectric fibers, which can convert mechanical to electrical energy, are controlled by a micro-chip. This reduces shock impact by more than 50% in residual vibration twice as fast as in a conventional racquet. The EDS (Electronic Dampening System) electronically creates a cancelling counter-vibration providing ultimate arm protection. Grip Sizes available: 41/4, 4 3/8 & 41/2. Head size: 115 square inches. Weight: 9.2 oz.

Want to mitigate the effects of tennis elbow? Turn to the Head Protector oversized tennis racquet, one of the first racquets to incorporate state-of-the-art racquet, grip, and string technologies to reduce shock. Rather than offer a conventional dampening system, the Head Protector racquet employs an electronic dampening system (EDS)--an active, microchip-controlled technology that produces a larger sweet spot for players with a short, compact swing style. The system works through the strings' high-tech piezoelectric fibers, which convert mechanical into electronic energy. The EDS technology recognizes this dampening mode and electronically creates a canceling counter vibration, which reduces shock impact by more than 50 percent and residual vibrations twice as fast as in a conventional racquet. This results in significantly reduced stress on the arm with each and every shot while also improving maneuverability and control.


Players will also delight in the Head Protector's grip and string technologies. The grip's specially developed air chamber is combined with a high-tech elastomer surface to provide excellent comfort and slip prevention while reducing residual vibration. The company's unique RIP technology and advanced materials, meanwhile, produce a super-soft hybrid string, which also reduces shock and vibration for greater comfort and protection.
