Our verdict
Intermediate players who build rallies through placement get a manageable round racket with a firm, precise response. Defensive resets and measured net play suit it better than outright finishing. The hard core rewards a prepared swing, so choose it for direct feedback and controlled pressure if you already generate your own pace.

How it plays
Power
Power score7.0
Moderate finishing power: a committed swing produces useful pace, but smashes and shortened volleys receive little automatic help from the hard core.
Control
Control score8.0
Placement is a strength on blocks, lobs and measured overheads. Reviews disagree on its ceiling, with control ratings ranging from competent to excellent.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score8.0
Easy to position in quick exchanges. The moderate balance supports compact volleys and defensive reactions without a heavy head pulling the swing.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score8.1
Generally forgiving across the central hitting area, especially in defence. Reviews disagree on how generous it feels, from a modest usable zone to a notably broad one.
Feel
Firm contact gives clear feedback rather than a plush impact. Fiberglass faces and vibration damping soften the response, but arm-sensitive players may prefer the soft version.
