Pros

  • Teardrop shape delivers a natural balance between power and control
  • Very wide sweet spot consistently forgives off-centre contact
  • High maneuverability enables fast net reactions and quick defensive repositioning
  • Soft feel dampens vibration effectively and protects the arm over long sessions
  • Good power rating supports an attacking game from the baseline

  • Soft construction may not satisfy players craving a firmer, snappier response
  • Heavier swing weight requires good physical conditioning over a full match
