The Duel 1509 racquet has turned fast movement into an exquisite pleasure you can indulge in every day. An ultra-light carbon frame with sound-softening leather shields, gives it a dreamlike level of control, handling and speed—elevating it into the company of architecture, watches and sports cars rather than sports equipment. Its proportionate, compact and elegantly muscular design defines a timeless, efficient and distinctive shape, imagined looking identical in 100 years’ time. A racquet almost wearable by nature, presenting an endless temptation to draw it out and take part in a Duel - 15 minutes and 09 seconds of fast-moving sport against a single opponent. Born from minimalism, the Duel 1509 writes into history the memories of the court: the booking agony, the bother of arriving, the burden of the sports bag. All that remains is you, your opponent, a few square metres of open space, and the euphoria of speed—as you use the racquet to strike the shuttle at the torso of the human being only a few steps in front of you, and they strike it back at yours. Soon, the female founded Duel 1509 racquet will be the most popular racquet on Earth. And you will have experienced the joy it brings for far longer than most, because you will have experienced it first on 15/09 (15 September) 2026 at the official launch outside Jolene’s Bakery on Redchurch Street, as part of the London Design Festival.
