Best for intermediate to advanced net attackers who want easier diamond power than a firm Viper, accepting some defensive compromise.
A head-heavy diamond for intermediate and advanced net players who want to finish points without the punishing feel of the firmest diamond frames. The softer Carbon Flex face makes attacking power available from a medium swing instead of an all-out one. Defence is the trade-off, so look elsewhere if you build most points from the back of the court.
Strong, and easy to reach. The diamond shape puts leverage high in the hitting zone, and the softer face releases that power from a medium swing. Bandejas and viboras leave with depth and pace, though it gives up a little top-end smash weight to the stiffer rackets in its range.
Good for an attacking diamond. Volleys through the centre feel solid and direct, and overhead shots come off the face with depth. Spin is respectable rather than outstanding because the surface texture is subtle, and low scoops take extra effort.

Suggest a correctionDecent for a diamond, but not quick. The high balance slows your preparation when you are late on the back glass or reacting to balls at the body, and defending takes more work than with a round or teardrop shape.
Generous for a diamond, but it sits high on the face. Contact above centre gives a clean hit, while low or frame contacts lose both depth and comfort, so late timing is punished.
Softer than the firmest diamond frames, with an impact that is progressive rather than abrupt. It asks far less of your arm and timing than a stiff attacking racket, though off-centre hits low on the face feel harsher.
