Best for beginners wanting a light, forgiving, cheap racket; expect modest power and a smallish sweet spot.
A light, forgiving racket for beginners and casual players who want an easy-swinging frame that is kind to the arm. It sits between round and diamond, with a soft feel, quick handling and a very low price. Power is modest and the sweet spot shrinks toward the edges, so players who already finish points with authority will find it too limited.
Modest rather than lively. The light frame and soft core make for an easy swing, but driving the ball deep takes real effort, and overheads reward good technique more than they help you finish the point.
Dependable for placing the ball. Defensive shots and slow exchanges leave the strings cleanly, which makes it easy to get the ball back and keep a rally going.
This is its best trait. At 345 to 360 g with a head-light balance, volleys come out quickly and you can adjust late to awkward balls at the net.
Decent in the middle but it shrinks quickly toward the edges, so contact quality matters more than the beginner label suggests.
Gentle on the arm. The soft EVA core and fibreglass faces give a medium-soft touch with little harshness at impact, which suits sensitive arms.
