Völkl Tennis is the first worldwide company to use this revolutionary new material to develop a new generation of unique high-tech tennis racquets.
What is DNX? – DNX is an entirely new worldwide innovation - not just for the production of tennis racquets but for any other graphite-based product. The qualities and properties of this new material are in itself revolutionary: DNX is 25 times stronger than regular carbon fibers. At the research laboratories of the world-famous Fraunhofer TEG, the 3rd derivation of carbon (after carbon, diamond) has been produced successfully – now for the first time ever as usable industrial fit fibres. The result is called DNX and contains a perfect high-strength micro tube construction that now for the first time, is exclusively used as a macro material. Originally developed for the aerospace-industry, the nanoscopic DNX fibers are combined to a macroscopic foil in the Fraunhofer TEG laboratories in Stuttgart, Germany. The complex production procedure makes the creation of the new DNX Composite a very costly procedure, hence too expensive to produce in mass quantities as of now. Völkl Tennis is only using the DNX fibers in strategically important areas of a tennis racquet, hence being able to take advantage of the revolutionary properties at a reasonable cost structure. – A revolutionary material development for the scientific community as well as your tennis game!
