What is the first thing you noticed when you picked up the racket?
The grip was surprisingly comfortable, which is not something that I would normally notice.
What did you like about the racket?
The racket gave me extra power, but I always felt in control; the racket has a great feel.
What did you dislike about the racket?
It took a little bit of adjusting to get to at first—but that can happen with any new racket!
Overall, how did it play?
It played really well, and it had a lot of finesse.
Compares to:
I usually play with an nCode Pro, and this racket feels comparatively heavier in the head. Overall, however, this racket does provide more power than the nCode and gave me just as much control.
What type of player do you think this racket is made for?
i.e. Baseliner, serve and volleyer, all courter, doubles player, etc.
I am an aggressive baseliner/counterpuncher, and this racket seemed to fit really well with my style. My shots had depth and power, and I never felt like I lost any control or consistency.
Bottom line: This is a great racket for players who are looking for a little additional “oomph” or power, without wanting to sacrifice control.
Comments: It’s also pretty!
