Expert Review

Positioned as a tweener frame, this racquet targets players seeking a specific balance of performance traits. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 60 RA results in a softer, more dampened response 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 80/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 60/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. The frame profile indicates a relatively low risk of arm-related discomfort. It is best suited for intermediate players.

Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
