Expert Review

This model falls under the modern control segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 98 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 59 RA results in a softer, more dampened response at impact. With an unstrung weight of 280 g, the frame favors maneuverability. The 16x20 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 40/100 for power, 80/100 for spin, and 100/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. The frame profile indicates a relatively low risk of arm-related discomfort. It is best suited for intermediate players.
