Pros

  • Strong power 9 and excellent ball exit 9 — a genuinely attacking performance profile at this price
  • EVA Soft S8 core delivers comfortable soft touch despite the power-first orientation — arm-friendly
  • 3K carbon construction provides solid stiffness and durability for intensive competitive play
  • 3D rough surface generates effective topspin and slice on attacking drives and serves
  • Even balance with teardrop shape offers better maneuverability than head-heavy diamond alternatives

Cons

  • Soft touch lacks the firm, dry feedback that players seeking a hard-core power response prefer
  • Control at 7 is secondary — not the right choice for players who rely on precision over pace
  • Sweet spot at 7 is smaller than round shapes and requires consistent technique to use effectively
