Based on 2 reviews we read, blended into our own scores.
This is a racket for advanced players who live at the net and want to finish points overhead. It is a diamond shape with high balance, a carbon frame and carbon faces over a soft EVA core, and it asks for good timing and clean contact in return for its pace. Power is the clear strength, with smashes, bandejas and sharp volleys leaving the face quickly, and the carbon gives a crisp, direct response rather than a plush one. A side rail lets you slide weights toward the head or the centre. Loaded high, the racket is heavy and aggressive; moved lower, it becomes easier to steer and defend with, though some of the finishing punch goes. Control, sweet spot and comfort are all modest, so off-centre hits are punished and long sessions can tire the arm. Defending from the back asks for early preparation, and a few owners have raised durability questions. The stated weight range is wide, so check the figure on the version you buy. Value is decent for what it delivers, but this is a specialist purchase rather than an all-rounder. If you want forgiveness, look at rounder shapes instead.
Specs come from the maker and the reviews we read, and makers revise them between batches. If a weight, balance or material is off, tell us and we will fix the racket page.
