Pros
- ✓10/10 power rating — the maximum — driven by C6 carbon faces that transfer swing energy directly into the ball with minimal frame flex, combined with a head-heavy diamond shape that maximizes rotational momentum on overheads and drives
- ✓C6 carbon construction delivers extreme rigidity and long-term durability at the 360–375 g weight class, ensuring the power output remains consistent across tournament-level use
- ✓Head-heavy balance concentrates mass at the top of the diamond frame, dramatically increasing swing inertia for overhead smashes where the extra momentum converts cleanly into ball pace
- ✓Medium-hard touch strikes a balance between the firm response needed for powerful flat shots and enough tactile sensitivity to feel contact quality — more user-accessible than a fully hard construction at the same power level
- ✓8/10 ball exit score confirms the C6 carbon face creates a fast, explosive rebound kick that adds pace beyond what the player generates purely from swing speed
Cons
- ✗Sweet spot is rated 7/10 — the diamond geometry places the optimal contact zone high on the frame, and mis-hits outside that zone suffer noticeable pace and direction loss
- ✗Control sits at 7/10, confirming this is a specialist offensive tool where shot shaping and placement are secondary to maximum pace generation
- ✗Maneuverability also scores 7/10 due to the head-heavy balance at 360–375 g — quick net volleys and defensive redirects require deliberate physical effort to control
