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 69 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 290 g, the frame adds stability through mass. 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. It is best suited for intermediate players.
