SNAUWAERT WAY TO INNOVATION: DESIGN TO PERFORMANCE
The best racquet is the one that best serves the user. The player himself evolves and so will the ideal characteristics of his racquet. That is why we design racquets with specific characteristics for each particular need.
INTERPRETING PERCEPTION FOR OBJECTIVE RESULTS
The perception of power and control is partly subjective, but the speed, spin, and trajectory of the ball after a shot are objective and vary according to the point of impact and depend on the mechanical, inertial, and geometrical specifications of the racquet. Knowing how to interpret the player's feelings and understanding what he/she needs, even if he/she doesn't always know it, is crucial in setting goals for a project.
Designing for optimal performance
By interpreting the correlation between player perception and objective factors, we design racquets that come closest to the ideal for each player. Our goal is to maximize both the tool’s intrinsic performance and the player’s potential.
Engineering beyond vibration reduction
Scientifically proven, playing with relaxed muscles is crucial for unlocking one’s potential, enjoying the game, and gaining an edge. Our approach transcends conventional vibration reduction solutions; we engineer tools that inherently produce minimal vibrations, deforming predictably and harmlessly during ball impacts.
Meeting diverse needs
In every design project, we prioritize creating racquets that meet the needs of players across all ages and playing styles, whether they embody the traditional, contemporary, or future tennis ethos.
STYLES OF PLAY AND SNAUWAERT’S OFFER
Snauwaert recognizes three distinct styles of play, each corresponding to a specific racquet concept: CLASSIC, ALLROUND, and POWERFUL.

CLASSIC STYLE
For the classic style, which emphasizes feel and control, we offer the HI-TEN line, available in 98 in2 and 100 in2 frames.
POWERFUL STYLE
The powerful style, favored by players seeking extreme ball speed and spin, especially from the baseline, is served by our VITAS line.
ALLROUND STYLE
For the ALLROUND style, bridging the gap between CLASSIC and POWERFUL, players require a versatile racquet adaptable to all playing conditions. Some may choose HI-TEN 100, while others may prefer VITAS 100.

Technical excellence
Each racquet comes with specific technical references and features. To achieve maximum performance, we’ve focused on three key racquet attributes: frame shape, section geometry, and string pattern. While some design specifics are shared between racquet families, others are unique to VITAS or HI-TEN, and some are specific to individual frames.
INCREASED SPACING BETWEEN HORIZONTAL STRINGS
at the top of the frame to enhance ball speed and spin on serves and groundstrokes executed in stretched positions.
WIDER FRAME AT 3/9 O’CLOCK POSITIONS
increase the effective hitting area and stability.
EXPANDED SWEET SPOT
