Best for advanced net attackers who want a firm, precise diamond racket and accept a harsh feel and a small sweet spot.
This is a racket for advanced players who live at the net and want precision over free power. It is a firm, dry diamond with high power on smashes and accelerated vibora shots, but little forgiveness. Ball exit is limited, off-centre hits feel harsh and comfort is near the bottom of the catalog, so it suits strong left-side attackers with finished mechanics.
High, and the best part of this racket. Smashes and accelerated vibora shots leave the face fast and flat, helped by the firm carbon face and very hard core. The speed has to come from your swing, because the face adds little trampoline.
Excellent when your feet arrive on time. With so little trampoline, blocks and placement land where you aim them, but late contact or a lazy swing sends the ball long. Defensive recovery from the back glass takes more arm and leg work than with a softer frame.
Quick enough for fast hand exchanges at the net, and the reinforced throat keeps the head stable on stretched volleys and bandejas. It feels a little less nimble than the lighter members of the Neuron family.
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 correctionGood for a diamond, but still on the compact side. Centred hits feel clean and precise, while off-centre contact, especially on overheads, turns noticeably harsh. It will not rescue mistimed contact.
Firm and harsh, near the bottom of what we see in the catalog. The very hard core and carbon face filter very little, so players with a sensitive elbow or shoulder should be careful.
