It keeps the extra-face design of the original XF, with a higher sweet spot for leverage and spin, but swaps the 11 mm core for a more controlled 14 mm one. It has a Carbon Fire Toray carbon face, polypropylene honeycomb, Kinetic and Dynamic Twist systems and a replaceable edge guard. It measures 16.4 x 7.5 inches, weighs 7.8 to 8.2 oz and has a 5.1-inch handle with a tapered 4 grip. 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. ## 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. 4.4 4.4 out of 5 14 reviews - Pickleball Central 4.4 · 14 reviews ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
