As a modern control racquet, its construction emphasizes its intended style of play. The 98 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 72 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 305 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 16x20 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 60/100 for power, 80/100 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 intermediate advanced players.
User comments for racquets with similar specifications highlight predictable on-court characteristics. Users often emphasize control and confidence on full swings, noting that clean contact is rewarded more than defensive play. A recurring theme is the potential for arm discomfort for sensitive players, depending on setup and hitting style. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate advanced players.
