Expert Review

As a control racquet, its construction emphasizes its intended style of play. The 98 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 58 RA results in a softer, more dampened response at impact. With an unstrung weight of 314 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 18x20 string pattern (dense) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 20/100 for power, 60/100 for spin, and 100/100 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 advanced players.

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