Best for technically solid intermediate attackers who want diamond power with a softer, arm-friendly feel.
An attacking diamond for technically solid intermediate and advanced players who finish points at the net and want power without a punishing feel. The high balance and softer core give it strong smashes and deep volleys while staying kind to the arm. Players who mostly defend, or who are still learning the basics, will be better served by a gentler, more forgiving shape. It also offers strong output for the money.
This is the strongest side of the racket. The weight sits high in the head, so smashes, bandejas and viboras leave with real authority, and volleys carry good depth without a big swing. It rewards a committed, well-timed hit more than a rushed one.
Serviceable rather than precise. Direction is good on normal shots, but placement under pressure is where it gives ground to a rounder racket, and painting lines on tight balls is harder work than it looks.
Average for a diamond, and the head-heavy feel is noticeable. Quick defensive reactions and blocks from the back of the court ask for earlier preparation and a firmer hand, so it suits players who stay near the net.
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 correctionModerate. The softer build forgives a little, but the hitting area is more concentrated than on a round racket, so mishits lose quality quickly, especially when stretched at the baseline.
Gentler than most diamonds. The softer core and face materials damp vibration, so the hit does not feel dead or harsh and long sessions are easier on the arm, though it still leans attacking first.
