An easy, well-rounded power frame, though opinions split on comfort and the open pattern lets strings move.
They liked Easy power and depth Quick handling Predictable and well-rounded Watch out for Lots of string movement and quicker tension loss Not the most precise frame for advanced players Where they differ: Tennisnerd found it a touch more comfortable than rival power frames; several Tennis Warehouse testers called it deceptively firm.
