Our verdict
Intermediate and advanced players with reliable technique get a versatile frame for constructing rallies and applying pressure at the net. The firm response favors deliberate placement and committed swings, with useful pace available when you accelerate. Clean contact matters: this is less helpful when you arrive late or need a soft defensive reset.

How it plays
Power
Power score8.1
Strong when you supply the acceleration. Committed overheads and attacking volleys carry useful pace, but the balanced setup offers less help on a smash than a dedicated attacking frame.
Control
Control score8.4
Placement is the main attraction. A stable face supports measured lobs, deep bandejas and directed volleys, provided preparation and contact stay consistent.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score7.7
Quick enough for active net play. The medium balance helps compact reactions and changes of direction, although it has more presence in the hand than a light defensive racket.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score7.6
Useful rather than especially forgiving. Contact near the middle stays predictable; rushed volleys and shots near the edge lose accuracy and easy depth.
Feel
Firm with some vibration filtering. The core and frame inserts soften the impact, but missed contact still feels sharper than it does with a softer beginner frame.
