A hard, heavy diamond for advanced attackers who already finish points from the net and want a higher ceiling, not a shortcut to power. It brings some of the biggest smash and volley output in the Babolat range, with a head-heavy balance and a stiff carbon face. The trade is a demanding platform and a firm feel, so it suits players with clean technique and a sturdy arm.
Among the most powerful rackets in the range. The head-heavy 27 cm balance, stiff 3K carbon face and firm core with an extra carbon layer give very high smash and volley output when you meet the ball in the upper centre of the face and commit to the swing.
Good for a power racket, helped by the rough finish. Bandejas and viboras stay low and bite, so placement holds up on attacking shots. It gives little free help when you are late or defending from the back, and low or wide contact loses depth fast.
Decent rather than quick. The head-heavy diamond shape makes hand exchanges at the net feel slower than with a lighter or more balanced frame, so it rewards early preparation over fast 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 correctionCompact for a racket of this size. Clean, centred contact is rewarded, but off-centre hits cost depth and speed, and the racket does not forgive mistimed shots.
The weak point. Vibration damping takes the edge off, but the stiff construction still loads the forearm and shoulder over long sessions, especially on a unit near the 380 g end of the tolerance. Look for a lighter specimen if your arm is sensitive.
