Performance Ratings:

On Court Performance Analysis:

• Tosses & Clears

  • Tosses and clears come easily off this frame, reaching the back tramlines without a full-effort swing, with the even balance keeping the shot dependable rather than explosive.

• Smashes

  • Smashing is a genuine strength - real pace and a steep angle are available on demand, with a stiff shaft that rewards a clean, well-timed swing rather than correcting a mistimed one.

• Flat Exchanges

  • Drives and flat exchanges carry real pace off the stiff shaft, with the even balance giving a predictable reset between hits.

• Defence

  • Defence asks more effort than it gives back.

• Net Dribbles

  • Net dribbles are solid and controllable, with reasonable feel for tight exchanges close to the tape.

• Handling Speed

  • Handling speed is dependable and predictable rather than exceptional in either direction.
