Pros
- ✓Round frame paired with a head-light balance produces a 9/10 maneuverability score, making wrist-driven volleys and fast direction changes feel effortless at 365–375 g
- ✓9/10 sweet-spot rating covers the round frame's central zone generously, translating off-center defensive shots into controlled, predictable placements rather than errors
- ✓MultiEva core supports a medium touch that absorbs impact without feeling mushy, giving advanced players tactile feedback for placement shots and drop volleys
- ✓3D Grain surface texture creates friction along the face, enabling heavy topspin and slice without changing swing mechanics
- ✓9/10 control rating makes this one of Bullpadel's most precise round-frame options, particularly effective in prolonged baseline exchanges
Cons
- ✗Power sits at 7/10 — tied for the lowest in the spec sheet alongside ball exit — meaning smash-oriented players will feel the head-light balance actively limits overhead pace
- ✗Ball exit of 7/10 is equally low, reducing the kick off the face that attacking players use to generate pace on flat drives
- ✗Head-light balance redistributes weight toward the handle, which can feel unusual and less powerful on high balls for players transitioning from head-heavy frames
