RE-IMAGINED DESIGN
Crafting the Future of Play
Inspired by my experience as a professional table tennis player, I created Nimbus as a racket that encapsulates the sport's demand for continuous improvement and adaptation.
DESIGN FEATURES
Customizable tab
It features a customizable weight system, allowing players to adjust the racket's balance using 2.5g or 5g tabs for different playing styles. This weight tab can be swapped for a tracker that links to a smartphone app, enabling analysis of metrics like posture and accuracy.
IDENTIFIABLE PROFILE
The racket's sleek design not only enhances comfort during extended matches but also embodies a unique aesthetic that sets it apart from competitors.
Premium materials
Featuring a carbon fiber base to make the racket lighter and stronger, along with added tabs to customize it to your playing style
DESIGN PROCESS
ERGONOMIC HANDLE
Inspired by smoother forms, Nimbus was brought to life through rapid foam prototyping and further refined with quick 3D prints. This process allowed for a seamless transition from concept to a polished design
