    Not published for this racket: balance, firmness. Each missing input counts as the neutral midpoint, so treat these ratings as less certain than for a racket with all five.

    • Power 44 = shape (teardrop) 22.5/45 + balance (not published) 17.5/35 + weight (345g) 2/20 = 42 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Control 50 = shape (teardrop) 30/60 + balance (not published) 20/40 = 50 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Handling 66 = balance (not published) 25/50 + weight (345g) 45/50 = 70 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Forgiveness 58 = shape (teardrop) 22.5/45 + firmness (not published) 17.5/35 + face material (fibreglass) 20/20 = 60 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Comfort 65 = firmness (not published) 20/40 + face material (fibreglass) 25/25 + balance (not published) 10/20 + weight (345g) 13.5/15 = 68.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Value 20 = mean of the two highest ratings, divided by the price in euros, scaled so the best value in the index is 100
