Our verdict
A light, forgiving round racket for beginners and returners who want to get the ball back with confidence rather than finish points with a big smash. It is quick to swing and kind on the arm, and teaches clean technique at a friendly price. Its modest power means most improving players will want something with more bite within a couple of seasons.

How it plays
Power
Power score6.0
Modest by design. The light frame and soft build leave you to create the pace yourself, so heavy overheads and aggressive attacking shots come off more polite than punishing.
Control
Control score6.7
Good for the level. Blocks and defensive lobs are easy to place deep, and the racket helps more than it asks, though it gives no free pressure on the first volley.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.9
Its best trait. The round head and low balance make it quick to swing and quick to reset, so it rarely feels late in transitions at the net or when defending.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score6.8
Helpful but not huge for a round shape. It is wide enough to smooth out mishits, yet on fast, hard-hit balls the frame can twist a little and feel loose.
Feel
Soft and muted at impact. The fiberglass build and gentle foam core keep the arm fresh, and off-centre hits do not bring a harsh reaction.
