Expert Review

This model falls under the oversize game improvement segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 135 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 73 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 260 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 18x21 string pattern (open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 100/100 for power, 60/100 for spin, and 20/100 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 beginner players.
