Hyde is a well-known brand from Austria and is known as "synonymous with tennis". Since 1994, Hyde has been the official manufacturer of balls, tennis rackets and tennis bags for the ATP. There are many champion pros who have used Hyde, such as Sharapova, Murray, Djokovic, Agassi, etc. Agassi, in particular, is one of only a handful of players to have won a Grand Slam on all four venues, having won eight Grand Slams in his career, seven of them with a racket from Hyde.
The Chinese Tennis Association announced that the HEAD brand has become its official partner since 2018, and the quality of Haide has also been affirmed by the Chinese Tennis Association.
Hyde's tennis rackets are very cost-effective, with products ranging from entry-level to high-end, and its main focus is on the star series, mainly Speed, Radical and Instinct. There are also the Prestige series, the Extreme series, and the MxG series. Different swings correspond to different series of rackets, there are many styles and models of rackets, according to the amplitude of the racket is divided into L series and S series, L refers to the long swing racket, and it is also the main professional racket series of Hyde, the larger the number in front of L, the greater the power required by the player. S refers to short swings, and most refers to entry swings.
L4 and L5 are basically shot by professional players, and the Radical series of Murray is in the L4 category, weighing 310 grams and covering 98 square inches. Djokovic's Speed series is in the L5 class, with a weight of 315 grams and a racket surface of 100 square inches. In contrast, the L4 has a light head and a small surface, which makes it flexible and easy to control, and can perform well in front of the net and on the bottom line. The L5 racket head is heavier and can provide enough swing power, which is a sharp weapon for baseline offensive players, and the ball hit out has great power and fast landing.
Extreme and Sharapova's Instinct series belong to L3, and the weight of the aerial shot is relatively light, basically under 300 grams. The Prestige series belongs to the L6 class, and the aerial shooting weighs 320 grams, which is relatively few people can handle.
In order to cater to the needs of different levels of golfers, each series of Hyde has launched MP standard version, S speed version, etc., and the weight of the racket has been reduced, which is more suitable for amateur players.
In 2013, Hyde launched graphene tennis rackets for the first time, and graphene has also become a standard publicity point for Hyde. Hyde claims that adding graphene to the handle of the tennis racket can change the weight distribution of the racket, making the same weight of the racket 20% lighter, but the application of graphene is still in the early stage, there is no substantial improvement in the performance of the tennis racket, and the material technology of the tennis racket is still in the carbon fiber stage.
