You may think drilling huge holes in your racquet would decrease strength, stiffness, and durability...well not anymore!  Ektelon has re-vamped their graphite bonding process to create a stronger frame that is more resistant to breaking, while still incorporating their O3 technology.  By integrating huge "O-Ports" in the molding process you get a much larger sweetspot, a livelier response, and increased power, all by providing total string freedom. O-Ports also make the frame more aerodynamic, reducing drag, and producing faster swing speeds. The 2011 O3 Black is now manufactured using Ektelon's new graphite resin bonding process, making this great playing frame more durable and impact resistant than ever.
