Head Instinct Team L

Older players, beginners and intermediates who want an easy racket will get on best with this Instinct. The 270 g frame swings almost effortlessly, and with the 340 mm balance tipped a little toward the head there is pace on the ball without a violent stroke.

The 107 sq in head has an enlarged central zone and forgives a rough hit off centre. A variable beam serves both power and control, and the 16x19 pattern makes spin easier. Stiffness is 63 RA, safe for the elbow, and the frame uses Graphene 360+. The Instinct Team is heavier at 285 g with a 100-inch head.
