Best for advanced attackers who live on the smash and net; a demanding, firm racket that punishes late or off-centre contact.
A heavy, head-heavy diamond for advanced players who finish points overhead and at the net. Smash speed is the headline, backed by a stable, firm carbon face, while defence and mishits ask for clean technique. It suits attackers with sound mechanics and a healthy arm, and it is a poor first step into diamond shapes.
Among the strongest in the range. The stiff carbon face and head-heavy balance send the ball out fast on smashes and flat overheads, and the speed arrives with little effort once the swing is committed.
Good for a diamond, though reviewers disagree on how precise it is. Placement on volleys and lobs is reliable when you prepare early, but slow defensive balls and late contact need a deliberate, compact stroke.
Quicker than its weight suggests thanks to a widened aerodynamic channel, yet clearly not a racket you flick at the net. Fast exchanges need early preparation, and the head weight shows in transitions.
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 correctionUsable rather than generous, and it sits high on the face. Clean hits jump off the strings, while low or late contact loses pace quickly, although the stable frame keeps slightly off-centre smashes on line.
Firm and not gentle on the arm. Several vibration-damping features help, but the hard carbon face and stiff frame still pass on a lot of feedback, so anyone with elbow or shoulder trouble should look at a softer model.
