Lôk Maxx Hype 2 Gen Mike Yanguas

The Maxx Hype 2 Gen Mike Yanguas is built for attacking players who want a racket with serious pop and a clear signature behind it. At 400g, this is a heavier frame that rewards players who generate their own pace and want that extra weight working for them on smashes and drives.

Lôk has positioned this as a pro-line racket, carrying the name of Mike Yanguas, which points toward an offensive profile. The 400g weight sits at the upper end of the standard range, so you will feel it through long rallies. Players who are physically strong and technically consistent will get the most from that mass, since it adds momentum to flat, aggressive shots. If you are still developing your swing mechanics or you play long sessions and fatigue is a factor, a lighter frame in the 360-375g range would serve you better. Beyond the weight, full specs such as shape, core material, and face construction have not been confirmed, so check the product page for the latest detail as Lôk updates its range.

This racket is not aimed at defensive or all-court players looking for control and comfort. It is a tool for someone who already plays with confidence at the net, hits hard, and wants a racket that matches that aggression rather than softening it.
