QUALITY AND PLAYABILITY.
How does the racket behave?

At Testea Sport Lab, we have different stations where we conduct tests to find out how the racket behaves.

These tests allow us to characterize the racket in two aspects: quality (how resistant it is, how long it lasts, etc.) and playability (how it behaves in the game). We have developed all these tests together with the Universitat Politècnica de València.

THE ADVANTAGES

We help brands understand how their product works. para darle un valor específico en CALIDAD y JUGABILIDAD. We place their product on the Testea Scale to give it a specific value in QUALITY and PLAYABILITY. We help improve the aspects that their racket needs.

THE TESTS

Face and Frame Stiffness – Determination of the point load needed to achieve deformation of the face or frame of the racket.
Maneuverability / Handling – The racket's property of being moved without difficulty.
Ball Rebound – The speed at which the ball exits after a soft impact at the racket’s sweet spot.
Feel / Touch – The response the racket transmits to the player as a result of gently hitting the ball around the sweet spot.
Vibration – The response the racket transmits to the player as a result of hitting the ball, both centered and off-center hits around the sweet spot.
Sweet Spot – Uniformity of the response the racket transmits to the player as a result of hitting the ball across the surface of the face.
Control – A control racket is one that is manageable, with a wide sweet spot and good ball blocking capability.
Power – The speed at which the ball exits after a high-speed, downward trajectory impact by the racket.
Face and Frame Breakage – Characterization of the resistance to breakage by applying dynamic load through free fall on the face or frame.
Durability – The number of impacts during which the racket maintains its initial properties significantly unchanged.

THE CERTIFICATIONS

Independent and scientific data.

At Testea Sport, we issue the following certificates endorsed by the UPV: Quality Certificate Playability Certificate Technology Certification

INDEPENDENT AND SCIENTIFIC DATA

QUALITY CERTIFICATE
