Best for
Owners and used buyers comparing this exact previous generation with its newer equivalent. Keep a frame that already meets your needs; test the change with similar strings.

Trade-off: A spin-focused frame still needs a full swing. Demo it alongside a more neutral racket and compare control on flatter shots, returns and volleys.
Trade-off: Your swing and strings still do most of the work. Judge it on depth and placement, not on the spin label.
