Best for advanced counter-punchers who want a firm, stable round racket with a big sweet spot and can handle its head weight.
A firm, stable round racket for advanced and strong intermediate players who defend patiently and then counter, usually from the right side. Control and a large centred sweet spot define it. Power is respectable, hand speed at the net is only fair, and it rewards compact technique and early preparation rather than helping a passive swing.
Respectable for a round shape, but earned rather than given. Around 365 g with a head-heavy balance gives overheads real weight when you swing smoothly, yet the racket will not manufacture pace from a short, passive stroke.
The standout trait. Contact is firm and dry with very little trampoline effect, so the ball leaves the face on a predictable line. Blocks, lobs and recoveries from the glass feel secure, and the raised, rough surface adds bite to sliced volleys, viboras and kick smashes.
Adequate rather than quick. The head mass shows in fast exchanges at the net, where hand speed is only fair, so it suits placement-based volleying more than rapid-fire reactions.
Specs come from the maker and the reviews we read, and makers revise them between batches. If a weight, balance or material is off, tell us and we will fix the racket page.
Suggest a correctionLarge and centred thanks to the round head, which keeps off-centre hits purposeful. Hits near the rim are a different story: output drops and the face feels harder and twistier.
Firm rather than gentle, so comfort is moderate. Hard contact and head mass can tire the arm over long sessions. The 2026 version feels a touch more elastic than the previous generation and gives a little more at medium pace.
