Our verdict
A power-first diamond for advanced players who finish points at the net and overhead and want punch without the harshest feel in the category. A soft EVA core under 6K carbon keeps the ball exit lively while taking some sting out of contact. It sits between softer improver frames and the stiffest attacking rackets, so it suits a technically sound player stepping up to a power game, not someone still building the basics.

How it plays
Power
Power score8.7
The clear strength, with rebound close behind. The ball leaves the face fast and heavy, and the frame stays stable on firm volleys and smashes, so bandeja and vibora get depth and bite without over-swinging.
Control
Control score7.5
A step below power. Placement is reliable when the face is steady and the preparation is clean, but from the back of the court it is manageable rather than effortless, and being late shows up in lost length.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.4
Acceptable for a diamond rather than quick. The high balance makes the head feel heavy in fast exchanges at the net, and that load builds over a long match.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score7.2
Off-centre contact is penalised. The hitting zone sits towards the top of the face, which helps attacking shots but leaves the lower half less generous when you are stretched, so defence is more work than with a rounder, lower-balance model.
Feel
Middle of the range. The soft core takes some sting out of impact for a diamond, but the head-heavy balance tires the arm and shoulder when you are late or tired.
