Expert Review

This model falls under the tweener segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 71 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 305 g, the frame adds stability through mass. 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. Its characteristics suggest a higher potential for arm fatigue if paired with stiff strings. It is best suited for intermediate advanced players.

User Feedback

Across community forums, feedback on racquets in this category is generally consistent. Many players mention easy access to spin and depth, particularly from the baseline, with a launch angle that helps keep the ball heavy. 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 advanced players.
