Who should not buy it?

Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 4.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (4.5/10).

How heavy is it really?

The brand gives 360 to 375 g. That counts as medium on our scale. Each racket can differ within that range.

Why a range? →
