This model falls under the spin segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 66 RA results in a softer, more dampened response at impact. With an unstrung weight of 290 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 80/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 40/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. It is best suited for intermediate players.
Player discussions around racquets with this profile tend to focus on how it behaves in real match conditions. Many players mention easy access to spin and depth, particularly from the baseline, with a launch angle that helps keep the ball heavy. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
