Carbon Stabilizer technology, applied to the Ace model used by Tomáš Macháč, reinforces support during quick changes of direction, braking and lateral movements.
The Ace tennis shoes join Joma’s technical evolution with the application of Carbon Stabilizer technology: a carbon plate placed in the midfoot area to help control shoe torsion and provide firmer support in fast movements. Developed at the J Lab, it is designed to maintain stability when a point forces the player to start, stop, turn and accelerate again in just a few seconds.
This model has been tested by professional tennis players such as Tomáš Macháč, Olympic medallist at Paris 2024, bringing the innovation into a real, high-performance competition environment.
What does Carbon Stabilizer bring to tennis?
Unlike the carbon plates most commonly used in running, which are designed to support propulsion and energy return, Carbon Stabilizer responds to a different need. In tennis, players move laterally, reach for difficult balls, brake from the baseline and change direction after every shot.
In these actions, the key is to reinforce support stability and reduce unnecessary torsion that could lead to improper movements. That is why the carbon plate integrated into the midfoot acts as a stabilizing element, providing greater control in fast movements, especially in competition situations where every step influences the next response.
The technical keys of the Ace tennis shoes with Carbon Stabilizer technology
In addition to Carbon Stabilizer, the Ace tennis shoes include features designed to meet the needs of elite tennis.
- Lightweight, breathable technical mesh upper, with VTS perforations to support foot ventilation during play.
- Heat-sealed JOMA SPORTECH system, designed to adapt the shoe to the foot without adding weight and while reducing friction areas.
- Reinforcements in the areas most exposed to movement, sliding and demanding support.
- Phylon midsole, a lightweight and flexible material with impact absorption capacity, combined with the Carbon Stabilizer plate and the semi-rigid STABILIS piece to optimize stability and support.
- Clay sole made with DURABILITY rubber. It provides the necessary grip on slippery surfaces while allowing smooth slides on court.
Tested at the J Lab with Tomáš Macháč
The application of Carbon Stabilizer technology to the Ace model is directly linked to professional tennis through Tomáš Macháč. Its laboratory analysis, combined with its use in ATP tournaments, brings the effectiveness of this system to scenarios where support intensity, reaction speed and movement precision are part of everyday performance.
With this pioneering initiative, Joma has opened a new path in the technical development of tennis footwear. A proposal focused on a very specific need: competing with greater stability when every movement can decide the final result.
