Our impression
Lighter version of the Optimus 5 with Air technology against air resistance: fibreglass face over a very soft EVA Ultra Soft core – plenty of spin and comfort for beginners.
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 4 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. 4 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €42.32 to €50.94.
