The face is raw T700 carbon with a 45-degree weave, which gives texture and spin, and the 14 mm POWERFLEX core has a dual-foam perimeter to enlarge the sweet spot and stabilize the paddle. It measures 16.4 x 7.6 inches, has a 5.6-inch handle and a 4 1/3 circumference. It weighs 7.5 to 7.9 oz, with a swing weight of 114 and a twist weight of 6.15, and the balance is neutral.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%68
Approval from players35%66

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
