Babolat’s topspin racket, for baseliners who like the ball to dip into the court.
Put it up against the Yonex VCORE 100 if you want more dip on your rally ball. Both are listed at 300 g with a 100 sq in head, but those figures alone do not tell you how they swing.
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.
Facts and their source states. They do not predict exactly how this racket will feel to you.

£189.00Pro:Direct · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06Trade-off: Check you can still control depth on a full swing. The Pro and MP XL are different rackets, so don’t mix them up.

£187.90Tennis-Point · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06Trade-off: Your swing and strings still do most of the work. Judge it on depth and placement, not on the spin label.

£199.99All Things Tennis · unstrung · checked 2026-10-06Trade-off: A spin racket won’t swing for you. Check that you can still place flatter shots with confidence.
Use the manufacturer range above where it is published. Agree the material, thickness and starting tension with your stringer; there is no universal setup for this frame.
Start with your string problem →Check bumper, hoop, throat, grommets and grip. Structural doubt overrides a cosmetic grade. Include replacement parts and a restring in the total.
Check a used listing →These are other reviewers’ findings, not our own play tests. Their strings, tension and playing style may differ from yours.
Still spin and power first, now quicker through the air and a little softer-feeling in the reviewed setups.
