You give up the most explosive finishing punch you’d get from a dedicated power/diamond racket.
A developing player will appreciate the Tracker’s blend of control and responsiveness—it lets you add power and spin gradually while keeping mistakes manageable. It’s a friendly bridge from purely forgiving beginner gear toward something that rewards cleaner swings.
You accept less raw, immediate power than a racket built specifically for aggressive finishing.
