Expert Review

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.
