Matcheur 97 — Control & Touch
€219.90
“For players who want to feel everything.”
The smallest head in the range (97 in²): a true blade, thin and quick, cutting through the air with rare ease. At 69 RA it is not soft — firm and precise: a clean response, a perfect read of the ball, direct feedback. Its assumed trade-off: a small head forgives less off-centre (lower twistweight) — it rewards clean striking. For the flatter, more direct (linear) player who wants control and true touch, and who centres the ball well. On the Matcheur grid, the 97 is the origin: pure precision.
Specs: 97 in² · 16×19 · 69 RA · 27″ · carbon frame · glossy black, no graphics.
Recommended setup: 320 g · 32.0 cm (control) or 300 g · 32.0 cm.
Figures at stock length; each quarter-inch moves the swingweight by about 9 points.

The Matcheur foundation — 69 RA, firm not soft
Modern tennis is tangential — you brush the ball to create spin — and that calls for a frame with enough response to keep depth while generating action. 69 RA is exactly that level. Comfort doesn't come from a soft frame: it comes from the right setup (which lets you relax), the right string and a properly fitted handle.
Set up & matched to order
Raw frame (no damping tech), glossy black, no graphics — the only Matcheur marking sits on the buttcap trapdoor. Two sets of grommets included. Interchangeable 3D-printed handle, made to your hand — shape and size, re-sizable over time. A measured-spec certificate (weight, balance, swingweight, twistweight, recoilweight) ships with every racquet.
Options & customization
Grid setup and a handle made to your hand are included in the price. Two workshop finishes are ordered alongside the frame: stringing from €22.90 — string and labour included, your pick from the N°1 to N°7 range and the tension you want — and a leather grip at €14.90, fitted in your grip size before the racquet ships.
An off-grid setup, or matching two racquets, is workshop customization: €29.90 per racquet, €54.90 for a pair.
Guarantees
