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.
Player discussions around racquets with this profile tend to focus on how it behaves in real match conditions. Many players mention easy access to spin and depth, particularly from the baseline, with a launch angle that helps keep the ball heavy. Comfort is generally viewed as a positive, particularly for longer sessions. Reports of arm-related issues are relatively rare for frames with this profile. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
