Our verdict
Intermediate players who build rallies through placement get a manageable round racket with a firm, direct response. It is strongest when defending and directing the next ball, with useful texture for controlled spin. The trade-off comes when finishing: committed technique supplies the pace, so players seeking effortless overhead winners should weigh that limitation carefully.

How it plays
Power
Power score6.6
Modest finishing power. Full swings produce useful pace, but short or passive swings receive little help, especially on smashes.
Control
Control score8.2
Precise and predictable on blocks, lobs and measured net play. The firmer response rewards deliberate placement, although players moving from soft foam need time to adjust.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.8
Generally easy to position in quick exchanges. Reviews disagree on how agile it feels, ranging from adequate handling to especially fast movement on defensive reactions.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score8.2
Broad enough to help when contact drifts from the centre. Defensive wall shots and hurried blocks remain more manageable than the firm core might suggest.
