Our verdict
Advanced attackers who prepare early get forceful overheads and a textured face that rewards aggressive spin. This diamond puts finishing ability ahead of defensive ease. Reports differ on how forgiving it feels, but its high balance and firm response make a trial worthwhile before committing to it for regular matches.

How it plays
Power
Power score9.2
Very strong on committed swings. The head carries momentum into flat smashes, while the textured face helps brushed overheads bite.
Control
Control score7.7
Useful with deliberate preparation, but reviews disagree on precision and defensive ease. Some praise dependable placement; others find late blocks and low lobs difficult.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.1
Moderate overall, with reviews disagreeing on speed in the hand. The higher balance can slow quick exchanges even when attacking volleys feel decisive.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score7.4
Reasonable on average, though reports disagree on forgiveness. Two tests describe a high contact zone that loses depth on mishits, while another finds ample margin.
Feel
Firm and demanding on imperfect contact. Vibration systems aim to soften impact, but the written tests still flag harsh blocks and the demands of repeated defensive shots.
