Who should try it?
Compare it with the Pure Aero and Extreme MP if you want to judge how readily your shots dip into the court.
What to watch for
A spin racket won’t swing for you. Check that you can still place flatter shots with confidence.
How to demo it
Mix it up: heavy topspin cross-court, then a flat ball down the line and a slice. A spin racket shouldn’t make the other shots harder.
Worth comparing
- Wilson Shift 99 · v1: Wilson’s topspin racket: 300 g, with a 99 sq in head and a 16×20 string pattern.
- Head Speed MP · 2026: Head’s all-rounder: 300 g, for players who split their time between the baseline and the net.
