Pros
- ✓Fixed 350 g with an even balance scores 9/10 on maneuverability, making this one of the lightest-feeling teardrop frames in Head's 2025 lineup — progressing players can generate head speed naturally without physical conditioning holding them back
- ✓Oversize teardrop shape expands the sweet-spot area significantly beyond standard dimensions, earning a 9/10 rating that forgives off-center contacts and reduces unforced errors during practice
- ✓Power Foam core is specifically engineered to convert the soft construction's energy absorption into a productive rebound — it contributes to the 7/10 power rating by adding bounce that fiberglass faces alone would not generate
- ✓Fiberglass faces absorb vibration at contact, delivering a cushioned response that protects intermediate arms during repetitive sessions while maintaining the 8/10 control accuracy
- ✓Even balance at 350 g produces a neutral, predictable swing feel that helps progressing players develop consistent stroke mechanics without compensating for frame bias
Cons
- ✗Power at 7/10 reflects the intentional softness of the Power Foam core and fiberglass construction — players who want to drive through the ball aggressively will find the lightweight, soft setup limiting
- ✗Soft construction provides minimal feedback for experienced players — the blunt impact feel makes it difficult to sense subtle ball qualities like spin direction and contact angle
- ✗Fixed 350 g with soft faces offers reduced stability on blocks against powerful opponents, which can be a problem as intermediate players face harder-hitting practice partners
