Solinco’s elite tech designed through Brain Dead’s lens. Born from a shared obsession for tennis, the collaboration fuses Solinco’s high-performance excellence with Brain Dead’s radical design resurgence that serves as a homage to the rebels on court. Both the racquet and hybrid string set are set to drop Tuesday, May 13, 2025.

This limited-edition collection includes two headline pieces:

1. A pre-packaged Hyper Mach-BD hybrid string set engineered for feel, spin, and controllable power.
2. A Whiteout V2 racquet in Brain Dead’s acidchrome finish — a visual and technical statement weapon for the modern player.

Both brands are disruptors in their lanes with a common goal of injecting a centuries-old sport with fresh, playful energy and bending styles, all while staying true to tennis’s technical DNA. The Solinco x Brain Dead capsule centers on two high-performance pieces: A limited-edition Solinco x Brain Dead Whiteout V2 and a pre-packaged, poly-poly hybrid set merging Brain Dead’s Solinco strings of choice, both dripped-out in an acidchrome finish. Brain Dead’s acidchrome design draws from the acid-punk nostalgia of the ‘90s, bringing a psychedelic feel to equipment that is built to perform. Drop into a new dimension of next-level tennis.

HYPER-MACH BD

Hyper-Mach BD is a poly-poly hybrid featuring Brain Dead’s go-to Solinco strings: Hyper-G Round and Mach-10. This setup combines the ultra-smooth, control-oriented Hyper-G Round with the explosive, feel-driven Mach-10, delivering a dynamic blend of easy power, comfort, and precision. The shaped-round configuration is ideal for players looking to dial in their setup and customize performance to their game.

STRINGS:

• Hyper-G Round
• Mach-10

SETUPS:

• Use Hyper-G Round in the mains for a deeper, more penetrating ball.
