Best for advanced attackers with settled technique who want a stable, heavy smash; skip it if your elbow or defence needs help.
A heavy, head-biased diamond for advanced and strong intermediate attackers who live at the net and want a committed finish on overheads. The smash is the headline shot and volleys punch through with a stable, square feel. It is a finisher's tool for players with settled technique, not a racket that builds a game from scratch, and at around 275 euros it is priced as a premium frame.
Power is the reason to buy it. The high balance loads the head with momentum, so flat smashes and overheads finish points and volleys carry real weight. The frame resists twisting when a fast ball lands heavy, and it pays out most on a full, accelerated swing.
Good rather than delicate. Blocks and lobs from the back of the court work when you meet the ball in front, but the racket expects you to supply the acceleration, and late, off-balance defending feels like work. Soft touch shots need preparation.
Manageable for a head-heavy diamond, but not quick. The high balance never quite disappears from the hand, so fast hand exchanges at the net need early preparation. Players who rely on a head-light racket to react late will struggle.
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 correctionLarge for a diamond, still limited next to a round or teardrop. The big 534 cm2 hitting surface makes it unusually tolerant for its shape, yet contact near the edge of the face is not rewarded.
The weakest part of the racket. A carbon frame, 12K carbon faces and twisted core geometry give a firm, linear strike, and the multi-density EVA core only takes off the harshest dryness. Players with a sensitive elbow should look elsewhere.
