Best for advanced attackers who want big overhead power and can handle a head-heavy, demanding diamond.
A head-heavy, full-carbon diamond for advanced players who attack and want a racket that rewards committed swings, especially overhead. Smashes, viboras and bandejas leave the face with real pace, and street prices well under launch level make it strong value for a flagship pro-line frame. If you are still building your technique or have a sensitive arm, start with a softer, rounder racket.
Big power is the headline, especially overhead. The head-heavy full-carbon frame sends smashes, viboras and bandejas out with real pace, and the weight sits toward the head to drive it.
Good touch once you are set, but it asks for clean positioning before you swing. The layered foam core keeps the feel firm without turning harsh, and the rough textured face grips the ball well for slice and spin on drop shots and defensive replies.
Decent rather than quick. Weight toward the head means fast defensive blocks take extra effort, though the removable weight plates let you shift balance and swing weight to suit you.
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 correctionSmaller than the diamond shape suggests, and off-centre hits are punished more than on a rounder racket. Opinions differ: one review panel found a roomier sweet spot at the net, so expect some variation with your own technique.
Firm but not harsh, with dampening in the face and handle that takes the edge off mishits. Long sessions can still be felt in the arm and elbow, so players with a sensitive arm should be careful.
