Who should try it?
Consider it if you already swing heavier rackets comfortably and want to see how steady one feels against pace.
What to watch for
The extra weight can slow your preparation and tire your arm. Test returns and serves late in the session.
How to demo it
Include first and second serves, as well as returns. Judge whether it stays comfortable and easy to prepare throughout your normal serving routine.
