Expert Review

Positioned as a control frame, this racquet targets players seeking a specific balance of performance traits. The 97 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 69 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 290 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 18x16 string pattern (open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 20/100 for power, 60/100 for spin, and 100/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. It is best suited for intermediate players.
