Expert Review
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 70 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 285 g, the frame favors maneuverability. 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. It is best suited for intermediate players.
