Pros

  • 9/10 ball exit is the top-rated figure in the spec sheet — the Soft EVA Performance core creates a lively, elastic rebound that generates useful rally pace from light swings, helping amateur players sustain longer, more productive practice rallies from day one
  • Teardrop shape earns a 9/10 sweet-spot rating, creating a wider forgiving zone than a standard round frame while maintaining the accessibility that all-court learners need across all playing positions
  • Soft construction absorbs vibration at contact and through the handle, protecting amateur arms during the frequent sessions needed to build foundational technique and physical adaptation to the sport
  • 8/10 maneuverability from the even teardrop balance at 360–375 g keeps the swing natural — amateur players can redirect the ball between forehand and backhand without fighting frame resistance
  • All-court teardrop profile introduces amateur players to a versatile frame that can handle baseline rallies and net play equally, building a complete foundational game rather than specializing in one style

Cons

  • Power is rated 7/10 — the soft core and even balance cap pace generation, limiting players who want to add offensive smash play as their strength and technique develop
  • Soft construction offers less structural rigidity than carbon alternatives — the face flexes under heavy opponent shots, reducing stability on blocks at amateur competitive level
  • Fiberglass-based construction has shorter long-term durability than carbon frames — cosmetic and structural wear accumulate faster under regular use at the 360–375 g weight class
