Expert Review

Positioned as a tweener frame, this racquet targets players seeking a specific balance of performance traits. The 102 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 70 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 275 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 100/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 60/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. It is best suited for intermediate players.
