Pros
- ✓10/10 power rating — the maximum possible — is produced by the diamond frame geometry concentrating mass in the upper hitting zone, amplified by the head-heavy balance that dramatically increases rotational swing momentum
- ✓Head-heavy balance at 360–375 g creates the highest possible swing inertia, ensuring every overhead smash carries the maximum kinetic energy transfer at ball contact
- ✓Hard construction and medium-hard touch deliver a firm, snappy response on flat drives and smashes, giving advanced players a confident, direct connection to the ball
- ✓Carbon materials in the frame provide high structural rigidity that prevents energy loss through frame flex, channeling force directly into the ball on every hit
- ✓8/10 ball exit score confirms that the hard core and diamond geometry create a fast, explosive rebound kick that rewards powerful natural swings
Cons
- ✗Sweet spot is rated 7/10 — the diamond shape concentrates the optimal zone in the upper third, meaning off-center hits are noticeably punished with loss of direction and pace
- ✗Control sits at 7/10, the lowest figure alongside maneuverability — this is a specialist offensive tool that sacrifices shot shaping for maximum pace generation
- ✗Maneuverability is also 7/10 due to the head-heavy balance and hard construction — defensive scramble shots and fast net exchanges require deliberate physical effort to control
