The racket

Power under control.

Official SCUD poster “Every grain counts”: the White S3 and a medallion of the hand-placed silica crystals

The SCUD White S3 is our control reference: a racket designed for players who want to stay in charge of every rally rather than betting everything on power.

  1. Control

    • Its clean white livery, designed in Paris, sets the tone for a game built on mastery.
  2. Carbon 12K

    • It pairs 12K carbon with a firm-density Hard Power EVA foam for an excellent compromise between control, comfort and responsiveness.
    • The 12K carbon gives a surface stiff enough for precise, dynamic strikes while keeping more forgiveness than a stiffer carbon.
    • The racket stays easy to play, from the back of the court as much as at the net.
    • Diamond shape and head-heavy balance keep power always on tap beneath that control.
  3. Hand‑applied sanding

    • The hand-applied sanding of its hitting surface improves bite on the ball, an extra asset for varying spin and placing your shots with precision.
    • The AVS anti-vibration system and the honeycomb silicone handle, wrapped in a grip, round off the playing comfort.
    • Like every SCUD racket, the White S3 is produced as a limited edition.
  4. Who it's for

    • It is built for players who want to dominate through strategy and consistency, with power always available but never forced.

How the White S3 is made.

Four workshop steps, the same across the whole range. Only the shell changes from one model to the next: on the White S3, 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 a woven carbon sheet before layup: the flat tows can be counted one by one under a grazing light
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.
Macro of the heart of a SCUD racket: the gunmetal fork and the red AVS mark, just above the grip
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.

Good to know

Frequently asked
questions.

What we get asked most often about the White S3. The answers apply to the whole range.

What level is the White S3 designed for?

The White S3 suits every level that favours control and consistency, from the regular club player to the competitor who builds the point before accelerating. Its 12K carbon makes it more forgiving on off-centre hits.

How does it differ from the Black Impact B3?

Same Hard Power EVA foam, same diamond shape and same 365 g weight, but the White S3 is made of 12K carbon versus 18K for the Black Impact B3: it offers more forgiveness and ball feel, where the Black Impact B3 favours raw hitting power.

What are the delivery and return times?

Your racket leaves within 48 h. Free shipping to France and the whole EU, with no minimum order. You can return it within 30 days, free returns.
