- Smashes carry genuine depth and pace — the rigid HES-Carbon double-pattern face converts swing energy with very little loss, so even a compact overhead generates real force.
- Despite the head-heavy bias, this racket feels quick through the swing thanks to the slim 38mm profile, which reduces air resistance and keeps transition speed between shots higher than most power-oriented diamonds.
- Stability under hard contact is notably better than you'd expect for a racket in this category, with PowerRibs structural reinforcement keeping the frame planted on off-centre volleys rather than twisting in the hand.
- Players who rely on touch and placement from the back court — or who need to construct points patiently under pressure — will find the medium-firm core and stiff face unforgiving, offering little dwell time and punishing any loss of swing mechanics.
Carbon face — stiff construction with direct power transfer. Crisp feel on contact that rewards clean striking technique with responsive ball speed.
Foam core — the softest core material available. Excellent vibration absorption and a large effective sweet spot, making it the most forgiving option on off-centre hits.
The head-heavy weight distribution increases leverage through the swing arc, translating directly into pace on smashes and aggressive volleys. The sweet spot sits high on the face — effective when attacking, but demands cleaner contact than a round or teardrop would.
Experienced players who favour aggressive, attacking play. Suited to competitive club players who dominate from the net and want maximum pace on smashes and volleys. Demands clean contact — rewards it with explosive performance.
