Expert Review
This model falls under the modern control segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. 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 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. It is best suited for intermediate advanced players.
