Best for intermediate defenders who want a huge sweet spot and soft feel, and can live with modest smash power.
A forgiving round racket for intermediate players who build points from the back of the court and want comfort and a wide margin for error more than firepower. It is a defensive specialist: control, handling and sweet spot are high, smash power is modest. Reviewers differ on the audience, from intermediate to entry level, and it is good value at current prices.
Modest, and the lowest of its scores. Ball exit is generous, so depth comes without forcing the swing, but smashes are serviceable rather than threatening, and heavy overhead hitters will reach the limit quickly.
High. Lobs, blocks and resets go where you aim them, even when you are late or stretched, and the response stays calm rather than aggressive. Placement is reliable, though pace is capped well below what accuracy allows.
Quick for a racket this forgiving. The low balance lets the head change direction fast in net exchanges and when preparing the bandeja, so it copes well in fast hand battles.
One of its best features and among the widest in its class. Off-centre contact on defensive lobs and blocks still leaves the racket stable and the ball leaving clean and deep.
Soft and arm-friendly. The dual-density foam core and soft-feeling face keep vibration low, so long sessions are easy on the elbow, without feeling mushy or costing precision.
