The head-heavy diamond with Power Foam core delivers plenty of power: strength in smashes and sharp finishing at the net. Graphene Inside reinforces the frame for stability and energy transfer.
It is a demanding racket. The sweet spot is smaller and it offers little help in defence: clean technique, full swings and physical strength are required.
For experienced attacking players with clean technique seeking maximum power and a big smash, particularly on the left side. Those seeking more control and forgiveness should choose a teardrop or round shape.
The head-heavy diamond shape, springy Power Foam core and 12K-carbon hitting surface together provide considerable power in smashes and finishing, while Graphene Inside reinforces the frame for energy transfer.

What you will notice as a player
The smash gets plenty of easy power; you do not need a full follow-through to put the ball away.
A balanced racket that responds predictably in most situations.
The racket offers little help in defense; returning balls off the glass takes considerable effort.
At the net you react a little more slowly: the weight sits forward, so quick adjustments take more effort.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Little help: you must guide balls off the glass and keep them deep yourself. |
| Volley | Comfortable and stable; aiming is easy and you keep the ball low. |
| Bandeja | Easy to control: the ball stays reasonably low and predictable. |
| Vibora | Very explosive: plenty of speed and bite, a natural shot for this racket. |
| Smash | Its strongest point: maximum power with little effort, sending the ball away like a rocket. |
| Block | The forward weight makes quick blocks more demanding than with an agile racket. |
| Off-center ball | Reasonably forgiving: outside the sweet spot you lose some speed, while accuracy is largely maintained. |
