Gumbaz Elegance, the first drop: one paddle, one ball.
Released September 2026. The paddle carries the Qutb Shahi rosette in its face and built with a thin polymer and PP Honeycomb, in a numbered run of 100 pieces. The ball is moulded in a single piece. When the drop sells out, the design closes with it.
Rampart
A 16-inch hybrid that splits the difference between reach and forgiveness. Long enough to defend a lob, wide enough that a mis-hit still lands where you meant it. Raw T700 carbon is pressed over a 16mm polypropylene core and thermoformed into a unibody edge. The face carries the Qutb Shahi rosette, lifted from the carved ceiling of the tombs north of Golconda: an eight-point star repeating out to the edge, four hundred years old and, as it turns out, exactly the geometry a paddle face wants. It is etched into the peel-ply rather than printed on, so it grips the ball and wears in rather than out.

Rosette
Most balls are two halves glued together, which is why most balls crack along the equator after a month of Hyderabad sun. Ours is moulded in a single piece from UV-stabilised resin and drilled with 40 holes in a pattern we tuned on outdoor courts through a Deccan summer. It holds a true bounce between 78 and 84 cm, and it holds its colour.
