2009 Mantis 285 100inch 16*19 285g

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 70 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 285 g, the frame favors maneuverability. 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. It is best suited for intermediate players. This aligns closely with the expected performance profile for this type of racquet.

User comments for racquets with similar specifications highlight predictable on-court characteristics. Many players mention easy access to spin and depth, particularly from the baseline, with a launch angle that helps keep the ball heavy. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
