Pros

  • Tricarbon faces — a proprietary triple-layer carbon weave — deliver 10/10 power by combining three carbon plies for maximum stiffness and energy transfer, ensuring Navarro's hard-hitting game is fully amplified at ball contact
  • CustomWeight system allows physical balance adjustment within the head-heavy diamond frame, enabling players to fine-tune between a more extreme head-heavy setup for maximum smash power and a slightly more neutral attack position
  • Dual-density MultiEva core layers two foam stiffness grades — a firmer zone for stability on high-impact drives and a more responsive zone for medium-speed ball handling, supporting both the 10/10 power and the 8/10 control rating
  • Hesacore grip included as standard provides a hexagonal handle structure that improves grip security and reduces the vibration that reaches the hand, protecting the arm during intense offensive sessions
  • Head-heavy diamond balance concentrates maximum mass at the top of the frame, generating the highest possible rotational momentum on overheads to produce the 10/10 power output

Cons

  • Maneuverability is rated 6/10 — the lowest figure in the spec sheet — because the head-heavy balance at 360–375 g creates significant swing inertia that makes defensive scrambles and quick net redirects physically demanding
  • Sweet spot scores 7/10 and sits high on the diamond frame — Tricarbon stiffness amplifies the punishment on off-center hits, making precise ball-striking essential
  • Ball exit at 7/10 is notable — despite the 10/10 power, the medium-hard Tricarbon construction is optimized for energy transfer rather than elastic rebound, so raw pace comes from swing mechanics not frame springback
