The Alpha Tour 360+ has a higher balance and diamond shape, which delivers more power for offensive shots.

10 Racket Care Tips
- Always store in a protective cover – protects from accidental scratches and hits.
- Avoid direct sun exposure – UV light can degrade foam and frame materials.
- Don’t leave it in a hot car or freezing garage – extreme temperatures harm structural integrity.
- Clean after every match – use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, sweat, and grime.
- Never immerse in water – moisture affects weight and internal balance.
- Replace worn grips often – for better hygiene, grip, and wrist control.
- Check for cracks after impacts – even small chips in Graphene can affect performance.
- Keep away from sharp objects in bags – use padded racket compartments.
- Replace overgrip regularly – especially during hot seasons for sweat absorption.
- Use quality balls – poor-quality balls can wear out the surface faster and affect performance.
