This racquet sits in the modern control category and is designed around its primary performance strengths. The 95 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 75 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 260 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x18 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 60/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 100/100 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 intermediate players.
Across community forums, feedback on racquets in this category is generally consistent. Users often emphasize control and confidence on full swings, noting that clean contact is rewarded more than defensive play. 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 beginner intermediate players.
