Best for advanced attackers who want heavy smashes and volleys and accept a firm, demanding feel.
A heavy-hitting diamond for advanced attackers who live at the net and finish points with the smash, the volley and the víbora. A high balance and a firm carbon face give real pace once the arm accelerates, but the racket gives little back on late or low contact. This Dale Candela edition is a colourway of the standard model and plays the same.
Power is the headline, and the 9.0 score reflects it. Flat balls leave the face fast and the frame stays steady when you hit through the ball, although the pace builds as the arm accelerates rather than arriving for free.
Strong for a power diamond. Volleys come out heavy and deep, and the rough surface gives enough bite to shape bandejas and víboras. Defending from the back needs early preparation and a committed swing.
Good for its weight rather than quick. At about 370 g it is not a wrist racket, but the aerodynamic frame keeps it more manageable at the net than the shape suggests.
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 but demanding. The hitting zone sits high on the face, so late or low contact loses depth, and the racket rewards clean timing over forgiveness.
Firm rather than gentle. Damping in the handle takes some of the harshness out, yet the feel stays hard, so anyone with a sensitive elbow or shoulder should test it first.
