Pros

  • ✓Maximum power output from the diamond shape, head-heavy balance and 18K Textreme carbon combination
  • ✓18K Textreme carbon faces deliver a dry, reactive response with exceptional energy transfer
  • ✓High-recovery EVA core rebounds efficiently for fast, powerful ball exit on contact
  • ✓Reinforced frame construction improves stability and extends the racket's lifespan under heavy use
  • ✓Serious offensive weapon for advanced players who prioritise raw pace above all else

Cons

  • ✗Sweet spot sits high and is small — scores just 6, demanding precise, centred ball contact
  • ✗Manoeuvrability is limited to 6 due to the head-heavy balance — defensive play feels laboured
  • ✗Can transmit uncomfortable vibrations into the arm when contact is made off-centre
