Reviewer highlights [via tennis.com]

• Easy acceleration combined with a thick, stiff frame added up to a powerful stick that was also fairly consistent.

• Whether bashing balls to the corners or using its extra juice to get out of trouble, it excelled at baseline play.

• Capable of doing damage with volleys—especially chest-high and above—and ruthless on overheads.
