A wide sweet spot across 105 sq in sends the ball hard and straight even when contact is off the centre. The graphite frame weighs 264 g, easy to swing even late in a long set. A 330 mm balance sits closer to even than on heavy frames, and that mass in the head adds pace.

The 16x20 pattern is denser than the usual open layout. It gives a little more control. The strings also move less against each other and last longer between restrings.
