The Fibreglass weave is what sets this apart from standard carbon rackets. The face snaps back faster on contact, translating to more ball speed on volleys and a crisper feel on flat shots.

Tecnifibre's EVA strikes a balance between power and comfort. Firmer than soft EVA found in beginner rackets for better energy return, but not so stiff that it jars your arm.

Teardrop with a medium balance point. Versatile combination — generous sweet spot for defence, enough head weight for power at the net.

Budget-conscious beginners who want a decent racket without breaking the bank. Also works for casual players who play infrequently.
