• Specifications

  Weight

  High Weight

  305 g / 10.8 oz

  Heavier rackets offer advanced players maximum control, stability, and precision. However, they require more strength and technique, making them less suitable for beginners or players with slower arm speed.

  Balance

  Low Balance

  315 mm / 1 in HL

  Rackets balanced toward the handle offer greater maneuverability, control, and precision. They are ideal for players who prefer net play or have quick reflexes.

  Head area

  Small

  626 cm² / 97 in²

  Rackets with a smaller head size provide maximum control and precision and are ideal for experienced players who generate their own shot power. The smaller sweet spot size demands greater accuracy and consistency in shots. This size is perfect for control-oriented play.

  String pattern

  Power & Spin

  16/19

  The open 16x19 string pattern, with 16 vertical and 19 horizontal strings, allows for more spin and power. The greater spacing between strings maximizes string deflection for increased spin. Ideal for aggressive baseline players seeking speed and spin.

  Profile

  Thin Profile

  23 mm

  Thin-profile frames offer greater control and precision, making them ideal for advanced players. They provide better ball feel while generating less power, requiring faster swing shots.
