The Shade is aimed at players in their first seasons. Round shape and low balance give the largest possible sweet spot: balls that don't hit the centre still bounce off in a controlled way. The soft core adds further damping and takes load off the arm, which helps especially when learning technique, while many balls are still hit unclean. We have not played this model ourselves; the information comes from the manufacturer.
At 360 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. 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 5 and control 9 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 9.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 78% of the round models in our comparison. 7 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €109.96 to €159.29 – a €49 difference for the same model.
