It combines a CarbonBite surface, DwellZone sweet spot and Tri-Density Core to deliver spin, power and a wide sweet spot. The widebody shape gives the best balance of sweet spot, power and maneuverability, and is recommended for doubles. It is 16 in long, with a 5.25 in handle, a 4.125 in grip and an average weight of 7.9 oz, and the 16 mm core gives stability. 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.
