Best for beginners and improving intermediates who want a light, forgiving racket; skip it if you need smash power.
A first serious racket for beginners and developing intermediates who want something light, comfortable and easy to place. Its teardrop head, soft core and big sweet spot forgive mistimed hits and go easy on the arm, but power is only middling. Expect to outgrow it within a season or two if you start finishing points overhead.
Middling at best. The racket weighs about 345 to 355 grams with a medium balance, so flat smashes need clean technique and real acceleration, and volleys lack penetration against stronger opponents.
Good and easy to trust. Blocks, defensive lobs and placement come naturally, which suits patient point building. The smooth face gives only modest bite for heavy cut, so spin-heavy players may want more grip.
A standout, and the highest score here. It barely needs effort to swing, so quick exchanges at the net feel unhurried and long sessions stay easy on the body.
Generous, and the racket's biggest strength. Slightly off-centre contact still sends the ball back with decent height and depth, which builds confidence while timing is still developing.
Soft and kind to the arm. The EVA core, fiberglass faces and carbon-reinforced frame keep impact gentle, so it suits players with sensitive arms and long sessions.
