nCode is a tennis racket brand developed by Wilson Sporting Goods. A nanotechnology process links billions of carbon fibers together before heatshaping, thus eliminating microscopic voids that create stress points in other carbon fiber rackets. Rackets created with this process are claimed to deliver 22% more power and control over conventional rackets. When a racquet is nCoded nano-sized silicone oxide crystals permeate the voids between the carbon fibers. This adjustment made at the molecular level significantly strengthens and enhances the stability of the overall carbon matrix. nCoded racquets measure 2 times stronger 2 times more stable and up to 22% more powerful than ordinary racquets. Among professional tennis players who use nCode are Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Nicolas Kiefer, Venus Williams, Gastón Gaudio, Justine Henin-Hardenne, Ana Ivanović, Lindsay Davenport and the Bryan brothers. The NCode lineup includes nSix-One Tour, nSix-One 95, nSix-One Team, nTour, nTour Two, nPro, nBlade, nFury, nVision, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, and n6.
