Pros
- ✓10/10 control score — the maximum — driven by a polyethylene core that absorbs impact energy and returns the ball with minimal deviation from the intended line
- ✓10/10 sweet-spot rating across the round frame means the effective hitting zone covers virtually the entire face, reducing errors on off-center defensive shots
- ✓Polyethylene core delivers superior vibration absorption compared to EVA alternatives, protecting the arm during long defensive rallies at 360–380 g
- ✓DMND Spin surface texture adds friction to the face, allowing topspin and slice generation without sacrificing the soft, control-first feel
- ✓Head-light balance scores 9/10 on maneuverability, enabling rapid net exchanges and fast wrist-driven blocks despite the heavier 360–380 g frame
Cons
- ✗Power is rated 7/10 — the softest polyethylene core and head-light balance reduce pace generation, making this a poor choice for aggressive smashers
- ✗Soft touch and polyethylene construction feel less firm on overheads, reducing confidence in high-ball finishing
- ✗Ball exit of 8/10 is solid but won't suit players who want the racket to add pace to their natural swing speed
