Our verdict
A calm, control-first round racket for improving and advanced players who win points with placement and patience rather than big smashes. It is soft, forgiving and easy to steer, and it is usually found well under 150 euros. Skip it if you want the racket to do the hitting or prefer a firm, crisp feel.

How it plays
Power
Power score6.8
Solid rather than spectacular. Smashes and vibora shots have bite but not much bang, and you supply your own pace from deep court. If you want a finisher, a harder, more head-heavy racket suits better.
Control
Control score7.8
This is the strongest suit. Lobs and blocks leave the face with little effort, and the soft touch gives you time to reset a rally under pressure. The bandeja is easy to place with a bit of shape on the ball.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.5
Quick for a round control frame. The head-light balance makes volleys and redirections fast at the net, so you can keep pressure on. Listed weight is 360 to 375 grams, usual for an adult racket, so check the exact figure on a given frame in hand.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score7.6
Generous, so late or stretched contact still produces a clean, predictable ball. The round head spreads the sweet spot wide and keeps off-centre hits forgiving.
Feel
Calm and kind on the arm. The soft EVA core under fibreglass faces mutes impact, which feels gentler than a firm carbon frame, at the cost of some crispness.
