Specifications
Weight
Light-Midweight
285 g / 10.1 oz
Designed for beginner and intermediate players, this range provides enhanced power and maneuverability compared to midweight options. It offers greater stability than low-weight racquets while remaining more agile than midweight racquets.
Balance
Even-Balanced
325 mm / 0.7 in HL
Even-balanced racquets distribute weight equally between the head and handle, offering a balanced mix of power and control. This versatility makes them suitable for all-court players, though they may not excel in any one specific area.
Head size
Mid-Size
645 cm² / 100 in²
Offering a perfect balance of control and power, mid-size racquets are ideal for intermediate to advanced players. With a slightly larger sweet spot, they provide forgiveness on off-center hits while still delivering precise shots—perfect for players seeking a versatile and balanced game.
String Pattern
Power & Spin
16/19
The 16x19 string pattern, with 16 main and 19 cross strings, is more open, allowing for greater spin and power. The wider spacing between the strings enables the ball to sink deeper, creating more power and responsiveness, making it ideal for aggressive baseline players who rely on spin and speed.
Beam
Thin-Beam
23 mm
Thin beams offer more control and precision, ideal for advanced players. They provide better ball feel but generate less power, requiring faster swing speeds.
