Timeless design meets modern performance.

Inspired by the elegance of wooden rackets and the charm of the dolce vita era, the Saber Vintage Edition is our most refined release to date. With a rich all-matte woodgrain finish and matching vintage-style cover, this Saber is designed to turn heads both on and off the court.

Built on the trusted frame of our best-selling Saber Mid, it delivers the same unbeatable feel and precision, but with a look that’s all its own.

This is a one-time release, limited to just 50 individually numbered Sabers.

 

Included in your order:

• Saber Vintage Edition -  300g unstrung, Grip size 2

• Individually numbered racket – only 50 made

• Vintage-style racket cover

• Mini reaction balls for warmup and coordination drills

• A personalised gift is included in every box

• Ships worldwide from our HQ in Dublin, Ireland


Once these are gone, they’re gone.
