Is his racket right for you?
Go for it if
- You're an advanced player with a fast, full swing
- Your game is built on steep smashes and back-court attack
- You want a head-heavy, extra-stiff frame and can time it well
Think twice if
- You're still building technique and swing speed
- You play mostly fast front-court or defensive rallies
