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. Fiberglass-only face (entry-level racquet): the RR Score for this category goes up to 82. It may be great for what it is designed for, but it does not rank among the best in the sport. ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
