Oliver-James

Almost perfect racket - Pros: - Easy to maneuver - Large sweet spot - Great with slow to medium speed balls because of the medium feel and assisted rebound. - Defense is good because of the maneuverability and feel on the racket for controlled shots in difficult situations - Volleys are precise with lots of effect - Rulo, Vibora, Badeja and Out by 3 (Kick Smash) are all fantastic because there is enough dwell in the racket face to really put a lot of effect on the ball and the maneuverability makes the timing consistent. Cons: - Flat smash, not bad by any means, on an easy ball you can easily still send the ball flying with enough racket head speed. But I find as a left side player that I hit less of them in a match because it lacks that extra oomph for a guaranteed win from deeper in the court. - Fast speed games, this might be more particular for me, but I feel this is where the stiffer rackets come alive more and a softer racket struggles as it absorbs a lot of the pace of the ball. Just feels a fraction too slow for the really fast games where you want to keep the speed up. Final point - it's a fantastic training racket, rewards clean technique, but doesn't punish you too harshly. Maneuverability allows you to adjust and consciously choose your shot.
