It combines a CarbonBite surface, DwellZone sweet spot and Tri-Density Core to deliver spin, power and a wide sweet spot. The 16.5 in elongated shape gives reach on high balls and attacks, and the 16 mm core gives more forgiveness and control. The handle is 5.5 in, the grip is 4.125 in and the average weight is 7.9 oz, with a swingweight of 117. Price shown at the store This store only shows the price on its own site.

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. ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
