Our impression
One of the lightest and most praised first rackets in the Babolat range: around 345 g, teardrop shape with a soft EVA core for plenty of comfort and forgiveness. Builds confidence especially in overhead play and on volleys.
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 Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 5 and control 7 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.8 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 92% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. 3 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €82.95 to €97.98 – a €15 difference for the same model.
