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. 4.7 4.7 out of 5 156 reviews - Decathlon 4.7 · 156 reviews ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
