NCode (tennis racquet)
nCode is a tennis racket brand developed by Wilson Sporting Goods. A nanotechnology process links billions of carbon fibers together before heatshaping, thus eliminating microscopic voids that create stress points in other carbon fiber rackets. When a racquet is nCoded nano-sized silicone oxide crystals permeate the voids between the carbon fibers. This adjustment made at the molecular level significantly strengthens and enhances the stability of the overall carbon matrix. nCode racquets are clamied by Wilson up to 22% more powerful and stable than ordinary racquets.
