Expert Review

This model falls under the comfort segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 102 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size.

The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 80/100 for power, 80/100 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.
