- Players who attack with pace and effect will find the Spin² Texture face gives them noticeably more grip on the ball, making it easier to generate sharp angles and dipping shots that put opponents under pressure.
- On smashes and fast volleys, the stiff 3K carbon face and I-Beam frame technology return energy efficiently, translating swing speed into clean, penetrating ball exit without the soft, unpredictable feel you get from foam-heavy rackets.
- Despite sitting at 365g with a high balance, the Aeroexact Design aerodynamics reduce drag through the swing arc, which makes the racket feel less cumbersome overhead than its weight and balance point might suggest.
- Players who rely on touch, defensive retrieves from the glass, or a measured back-court game will find the stiff 3K carbon face and high balance point leave them with little margin for error and minimal feel on delicate shots.
3K carbon weave — the fewest filaments of any carbon variant, making this the stiffest surface available. Maximum direct power on hard contact.
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.
