Our verdict
A soft, light round racket for beginners, returning players and lower-intermediate recreational players who value forgiveness over firepower. At about 345 g with a head-light 26 cm balance it feels quick and undemanding, and it is among the friendliest rackets on the arm. Power and spin are modest, so anyone who ends points with flat smashes will outgrow it. It costs well under 100 euros and is marketed mainly at women starting out.

How it plays
Power
Power score5.5
Modest, and it comes from your own swing rather than the frame. The fiberglass and EVA build gives easy depth on short swings, but the light head carries little mass, so flat smashes lack weight and penetration.
Control
Control score6.9
Good rather than precise. Lobs, resets and defensive blocks are easy and land deep, but the smooth face gives almost no help with spin, so slices and kick smashes come down to technique, and accuracy fades as shot speed rises.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score8.6
Very quick. The head-light balance and low swing load make preparation, direction changes and late defensive reactions easy. The same light head gets pushed around by heavy pace.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score8.5
Broad and centred. The round, oversized head keeps mishits near the middle landing deep. Hits near the edge lose direction faster than on a heavier carbon racket.
Feel
A standout. The soft fiberglass and EVA response and the low swing load keep it gentle on the arm. Hard hits close to the frame feel sharper than clean central ones.
