Performance Ratings:

On Court Performance Analysis:

• Tosses & Clears

  • Tosses and clears are solid rather than explosive - the head-heavy balance helps carry the shuttle deep, though it asks a touch more technique than a dedicated attacking frame to do it consistently.

• Smashes

  • Smashing is solid and dependable rather than explosive - enough pace to finish a rally against club-level opposition, without the outright weight of a dedicated attacking frame.

• Flat Exchanges

  • Flat exchanges feel brisk thanks to the lighter overall weight, though a more flexible shaft means you'll feel slightly less punch than a stiffer frame gives on the fastest drives.

• Defence

  • Defence is workable rather than a strength - the head-heavy balance means blocks and lifts take a little more conscious effort to control than on a more neutral frame, but it's manageable with clean technique.

• Net Dribbles

  • Net dribbles are solid and controllable, with reasonable feel for tight exchanges close to the tape, without being the racket's standout strength.

• Handling Speed

  • Handling speed is the trade-off for the attacking weight up top - this isn't a frame built for lightning-fast reaction exchanges, and it shows most when you're rushed at the net or mid-court.
