Expert Review

As a modern control racquet, its construction emphasizes its intended style of play. The 90 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 68 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 325 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 16x18 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 40/100 for power, 100/100 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 advanced players.
