Best for advanced control players who defend and place the ball well; skip it if you want easy smash power or a soft feel.
A round control racket for committed club players who build points with placement rather than force. It suits calm defenders who block well and want a firm, structured feel with a forgiving centre. At 360 to 375 g it asks you to prepare early, and with limited smash power and average handling at the net, it is not for players whose technique is still forming.
Reviews disagree on finishing power. The numeric assessment is modest, while an on-court test finds useful overhead pace when there is time to accelerate fully. It remains a placement-first choice.
Reviews disagree on spin and placement quality. Defensive lobs and blocks are predictable, while an on-court test finds a precise low volley and useful spin on bandejas and viboras.
Generous and central. Off-centre blocks remain forgiving in an on-court test, helping with rushed defensive resets. Hits near the edge can still lose depth and direction.
Rated well for comfort, but the feel is firm and connected rather than cushioned. A sensitive arm should try it before committing, because the response is closer to medium-hard than soft.
