Lighter version of the RX Series: fibreglass face with carbon reinforcements in the frame against twisting, large forgiving sweet spot. Solid for quick reactions at the net, but clearly positioned in the beginner segment.
At 350 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle and easy on the arm, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 4 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 10.0 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 93% of the round models in our comparison. 2 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €83.50 to €87.90.
