Our verdict
A light, head-light control racket for intermediate players and returners who value comfort and easy handling over raw power. It is quick at the net, gentle on the arm and best suited to a patient game of placement, bandeja and vibora. Smashes lack bite, so power finishers and fast improvers should look heavier. At a modest price it is a low-risk step up.

How it plays
Power
Power score6.6
Modest rather than a strength: it is a touch livelier than the standard model in this family, but smashes and heavy overheads lack bite. Players who finish points from the net will want a heavier, stiffer racket.
Control
Control score7.1
Dependable placement is the strength. Defensive lobs need very little effort, and the short preparation makes bandeja and vibora easy to place deep rather than drive.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.8
The standout trait. The light frame and head-light balance come through quickly at the net, so late adjustments on volleys and blocks take little strain. Sources disagree on the exact weight and shape, so check the label of the racket you buy.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score7.4
Forgiving for its class. Shots struck slightly off centre still land with decent depth, which helps developing players and anyone who mishits when rushed.
Feel
Soft and muted at impact thanks to the EVA core under fiberglass faces, which makes it kind to a sensitive or returning arm.
