Our verdict
Beginners and early intermediate players who want a forgiving, comfortable racket get a round, low-balance control frame with a soft core and a generous sweet spot. It is easy to swing and kind to the elbow, but it adds little pace of its own, so players who already finish points at the net will want something livelier.

How it plays
Power
Power score7.3
Moderate rather than punchy. The soft low-density core and 38 mm frame give a gradual ball exit, so smashes and viboras need your own timing and angle to finish the point.
Control
Control score8.1
Strong for the price. The round shape and low balance help placement on blocks, lobs and bandejas, and the textured face lets you add some slice and spin. The reviews disagree on how precise it is, with scores from good to excellent.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score8.1
Quick and easy to move, especially at the net where volleys and reactions come fast. The low balance helps. The reviews disagree on how nimble it is, and at the top of the weight range it can tire you in long defensive rallies.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score8.0
A forgiving area that keeps off-centre hits clean on rushed volleys and blocks. The reviews disagree on its size, and a very generous zone trades away a little pinpoint accuracy when you aim for corners.
Feel
Gentle on the arm. The soft core, cork grip insert and vibration-damping details calm hard contact such as blocking a flat smash, which suits players still building technique or returning from an elbow problem.
