The racket

The most exclusive SCUD of all.

This exclusive model was created to celebrate SCUD's distribution in Mexico. The Mexique M1 carries a Día de los Muertos artwork on its face, a colourful tribute to a popular Mexican tradition, and it is the most “exclusive” SCUD of all.

Behind that bold character, the M1 pairs a responsive, versatile 12K carbon with a firm EVA foam to deliver an excellent balance of power, precision and control. Its firm feel favours clean, dynamic strikes while keeping good command of the ball. Diamond shape, head-heavy balance, 365 g: a racket designed for players looking for impact, responsiveness and stability.

The AVS anti-vibration system protects the arm over the length of a match, while the hand-applied sanding gives a fine, even bite across the whole hitting surface. Because it is produced in a limited run, no two Mexique M1s are exactly alike: the artisanal sanding leaves its signature on every racket, making each one a piece in its own right rather than a mass-produced item.

The Mexique M1 will be available in January 2027. It is the racket for players who want their gear to tell a story, without ever compromising on the technical standards that win points.

Specifications

The spec
sheet.

Carbon
12K
The weave of the shell: the denser the fibre count, the crisper and more direct the response.
Core
Firm EVA
The foam at the heart of the face, which balances impact tolerance against energy return.
Shape
Diamond
The outline of the face: the diamond raises the sweet spot for power, the teardrop recentres it for tolerance.
Weight
365 g
The mass of the racket: the heavier, the heavier the strike; the lighter, the more manoeuvrable.
Balance
Head-heavy
Where the centre of gravity sits: head-heavy to attack, medium to build the point and recover fast.
Craft

How the Mexique M1 is made.

Four workshop steps, the same across the whole range. Only the shell changes from one model to the next: on the Mexique M1, the weave is 12K.

Hand-applied sanding
The face goes under the blaster piece by piece, the silica crystals spread by hand rather than sprayed by a machine set once and for all. That grain is what grips the ball on a slice, and it means no two rackets come out quite alike.What sanding changes to spin

The shell
Twelve thousand filaments per tow: the tow is finer, the shell bends a little longer under the ball. The contact lasts, and that time is what we call feel.12K or 18K: the difference on court
Macro of the heart of a SCUD racket: the gunmetal fork and the red AVS mark, just above the grip
AVS system
The device is set into the structure at layup, not added afterwards in the handle. It cuts the shocks before they reach the elbow: it does not change the first strike, it changes the end of the match.

Honeycomb grip
Under the grip, the handle is a silicone moulded in stars and diamonds. The relief sits in the palm without needing to be squeezed: less tension over three sets, less strain in the forearm.
