Engineering

Nothing to prove.
Everything measured.

A maris racquet carries no visible technology names, no lightning graphics, no numbers shouting from the face. The engineering is all there — it simply doesn’t raise its voice. This page is where it speaks.

01 — The Face

Full 3K carbon

3K means three thousand filaments per tow, woven three-by-three into the tight, even twill you can see through the lacquer on close inspection. Compared to fibreglass — which is what most racquets at any price actually use — carbon returns energy faster, resists fatigue longer, and keeps its character season after season.

We use carbon for the face and the frame. There is no fibreglass anywhere in a maris racquet. The matte lacquer above it is pigmented, not printed, so the colour is part of the object rather than a layer on top of it.

02 — The Core

Soft EVA, 36 mm

The core sets the personality. Hard cores punch; soft cores converse. We chose a soft EVA foam at the full 36-millimetre profile because it holds the ball a fraction longer on the face — long enough to tell you what happened, and long enough for you to change your mind.

The practical result: more control on the volley, easier depth from the back glass, and noticeably less shock through the elbow after three sets. It is the core we would want at hour three of a long afternoon.


03 — The Shape

Round, on purpose

Diamond shapes move the sweet spot high and small — power for players who make no mistakes. A round profile carries the sweet spot low and generous, directly in line with where most good padel is actually played: the block, the bandeja, the third-shot lob under pressure.

The open throat adds flex and takes weight from exactly where you don’t want it. Balance sits low-medium, so the racquet starts fast and finishes stable.

04 — The Discipline

Weighed by hand

Mass-produced racquets routinely vary ten grams or more from their printed weight. Every maris racquet is individually weighed before it is numbered: 365 grams, plus or minus three. If a piece falls outside tolerance, it does not join the edition.

The star of the sea on the hitting zone follows the same philosophy — it is formed into the face as texture during moulding, not printed on afterwards. You find it with your thumb before you ever see it.
