Performance Ratings:

On Court Performance Analysis:

• Tosses & Clears

  • Tosses and clears are solid and dependable, reaching good depth with a committed swing - the head-heavy balance does a lot of the work here.

• Smashes

  • Smashing is solid and dependable rather than explosive - enough pace to finish rallies against club-level opposition, helped along by a flexible shaft that stores and releases energy through the swing.

• Flat Exchanges

  • Drives and flat exchanges have a cushioned, slightly slower feel off the flexible shaft, though the head-heavy balance is a touch slower to reset between consecutive exchanges than a lighter-balanced frame.

• Defence

  • Defence is solid without being outstanding - reasonable reaction speed on blocks and resets - the head-heavy balance that helps the attack works against fast recovery, so blocks take more arm work than on a lighter frame.

• Net Dribbles

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

• Handling Speed

  • Handling speed is the trade-off for the attacking weight up top - this isn't built for lightning-fast reaction exchanges, helped by the lighter overall weight class.
