Our verdict
A heavy-hitting diamond for advanced attackers who want flagship-style finishing power without flagship money. The head-heavy frame, soft EVA core and 6K carbon face put the mass high, so smashes and bandejas leave with real weight. Players still building technique, or anyone with a sore elbow or wrist, should look at a rounder, more forgiving shape instead.

- advanced attackers
- players who finish on overheads
- buyers wanting flagship feel for less
- Skip if
- you are still learning technique
- your arm or elbow is sensitive
- you want a big forgiving sweet spot
How it plays
Power
Power score8.6
Power is the headline, well ahead of every other score. The high balance and long handle give smashes, bandejas and drives real weight, plus extra leverage for angles, and the rebound is lively from the back of the court.
Control
Control score6.9
Average for the category rather than precise. The lively rebound means you have to choose your shots carefully, and mishits are not hidden, so placement depends on clean contact.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score6.6
Workable at the net once your hands are early, but the head-heavy build suits attacking more than blocking or counter-punching. Fast shots at the net ask for a refined touch.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score6.2
The sweet spot is small for the category, and drifting off centre is noticed. Opinions differ a little, with one source calling it slightly above average, but players mostly describe it as unforgiving.
Feel
Firm rather than gentle. Several players report vibrations on off-centre contact, so it asks for clean technique and a conditioned arm, and the soft core only takes the edge off.
