Best for intermediate attackers who want easy overhead power without the harsh feel of the Viper; skip if you defend a lot.
A head-heavy diamond for intermediate players building an attacking game, and for advanced players who want a more forgiving way to finish points. The weight sits high in the frame, so smashes and overheads leave the face fast with little effort. It plays softer than the Viper family but is less nimble in defence, so skip it for long defensive rallies. A raised texture helps spin, and street prices are well below list.
Very high, and the main reason to buy it. The weight sits high in the head, so smashes, overheads and bandejas leave the face fast with little effort, and the pop off the face is the trait testers single out most.
Good for a power frame. Placement is solid when you meet the ball cleanly, but it gets harder to place fast balls at the net when contact is off the middle of the face.
Decent but not nimble. The top-heavy build asks for more wrist work in fast exchanges at the net and in defence, and you need quick reactions to get the most from it.

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 correctionDecent rather than generous. The sweet spot rides high on the face, so mishits low on the head lose pace and feel dead. It rewards clean technique and early preparation.
Firm rather than plush, though softer than the harder Viper family. The glass content and a vibration-damping insert in the throat take some sting out of long sessions, but players with sensitive elbows or wrists may find the high balance tiring.
