MAXIMUS Precision System
Precision and stiffness
Weight. Balance. Swingweight. Stiffness. Controlled as one engineering system.
Four parameters controlled as one engineering system. Each class defines how tightly a finished racquet is held to its declared specification and which quality records are produced.
| Class | Weight | Balance | Swingweight | Stiffness | QC architecture |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2.5 Scalable performance core | ±2.5 g | ±2.5 mm | ±2.5 kg·cm² | ±1 RA (target tolerance) Manufacturing target | Individual measurement and retained production records. |
| P1.5 Advanced precision | ±1.5 g | ±1.5 mm | ±1.5 kg·cm² | ±0.5 RA (target tolerance) Manufacturing target | Individual measurement, individual records and traceability. |
| P0.5 Professional · individually controlled | ±0.5 g | ±0.5 mm | ±0.5 kg·cm² | conformity to the exact declared RA reading under a defined factory QC protocol Manufacturing target | Unique serial identity, nominal and actual values, individual measurement records, batch traceability, a Precision Certificate and matched pairs, triples or team sets where implemented. |
Example: a declared target of RA 69 requires the specified release result of RA 69 under that protocol.
Stiffness specifications are manufacturing targets until the relevant protocol and production evidence support a stronger claim. The architecture proposition does not imply that every listed configuration has already passed a complete four-parameter release process.
MAXIMUS does not describe its range as having zero tolerance. Precision is stated as a class with a declared tolerance and a defined QC architecture.
Why stiffness matters
Frame stiffness influences how the frame responds at contact, how it feels, and how consistent two racquets are with each other. The central benefit of controlling it is repeatable response against a declared specification.
Before verified conformity is published, the internal QC record identifies the instrument, its calibration status, the method, racquet condition, resolution, measurement uncertainty, repeat measurements, rounding rule and acceptance rule. An identical displayed integer is not proof of zero physical variation or zero measurement error.
Kept as separate fields in every record.
Matched sets
Matched-set criteria are defined separately from individual tolerance. Conformity of each racquet to its nominal tolerance does not by itself prove a particular maximum difference between two racquets. Matched pairs, triples and team sets are requested through the configurator and confirmed in writing.
Extended technical model
The data model supports additional parameters. No values or tolerance classes exist for them yet; they can be stated as requested targets in a technical brief.
