Key Technologies:

No Tolerance
Conventional tennis racquet construction results in racquets that vary in weight by as much as 15 grams (1/2 ounce) thus affecting performance. Through No Tolerance, Fischer has removed the need for after market customization and has refined the production process to a level unmatched by other manufacturers. Any player that carries multiple racquets in their bag will benefit from No Tolerance.

Vacuum Technology
The Progressor NT is manufactured using Fischer’s Vacuum Technic, creating absolutely stress-free conditions for production. During the prewinding of the impregnated fiber layers, the internal pressure of the Vacuum process draws out the trapped air. This makes the racquet wall stress-free and enusres a constant thickness throughout. The result is a homogeneous, ultra precise racquet with exact playing properties.

Air Carbon
The Progressor NT is manufactured using Air Carbon, an ultra lightweight and extremely strong, high-tech materail approved for the aerospace industry. The space age material guarantees 100% reliability with minmum weight.
