Pros

  • 10/10 power rating produced by 100% 3K carbon construction combined with a head-heavy diamond balance at 365–380 g — the full carbon frame eliminates energy loss through flex while the heavy balance concentrates maximum rotational momentum at the top of the hitting zone
  • Total Rough Spin surface texture across the diamond face creates exceptional ball friction, enabling maximum topspin loading on drives and smashes that combines with the 10/10 power to deliver the most aggressive offensive combination in Royal Padel's range
  • X Torsion anti-vibration system specifically designed to counteract the torsional vibration that the full carbon diamond head-heavy construction generates on off-center hits, protecting the arm during professional match conditions at 365–380 g
  • 8/10 control score is unusually high for a 10/10 power diamond frame — the 3K carbon precision allows advanced players to direct powerful shots with meaningful directional accuracy
  • Medium-hard touch is notably more accessible than the hard touch typical of diamond power frames, making the 10/10 power output achievable for advanced players without requiring the extremely rigid technique that full-hard construction demands

Cons

  • Maneuverability is rated 6/10 — the lowest figure in the spec sheet — because 365–380 g with a head-heavy balance creates maximum swing inertia, making defensive recovery and rapid net transitions the most physically demanding tasks in the racket's repertoire
  • Sweet spot scores 7/10 and sits high in the diamond frame — off-center hits on the 3K carbon surface at this weight and balance transmit significant vibration and lose substantial direction control
  • Ball exit sits at 7/10 despite the extreme power rating — the medium-hard touch and 3K carbon prioritize controlled energy transfer rather than explosive springback, meaning pace comes from swing force not frame elasticity
