At 86 g, in the 3U class, it joins head-heavy balance with an extra-stiff shaft, which resists bending on a fast swing and turns arm speed into shuttle speed. It is high-modulus Japanese graphite, with Ti Mesh Tech and XTREME Tension Frame. It measures 675 mm and the tension is 22 to 28 lbs.

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.
