This racquet sits in the power category and is designed around its primary performance strengths. The 100 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 285 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, 80/100 for spin, and 40/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Its characteristics suggest a higher potential for arm fatigue if paired with stiff strings. It is best suited for intermediate players.
Player discussions around racquets with this profile tend to focus on how it behaves in real match conditions. A recurring theme is the potential for arm discomfort for sensitive players, depending on setup and hitting style. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
