    Collection note: The page has no Touch, Feel or Hardness line for the racket as a whole. The only firmness word is in the foam name Hard EVA, so core.value is left null. Balance is given only as 270 mm with no word such as low, medium or high. The weight tolerance of +/- 10g gives a 360 to 380 g range. No model year is stated. Player Typology is listed as Technical Striker, which is a playing style rather than a level.

    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 70 = shape (diamond) 45/45 + balance (not published) 17.5/35 + weight (370g) 12/20 = 74.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Control 26 = shape (diamond) 0/60 + balance (not published) 20/40 = 20 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Handling 46 = balance (not published) 25/50 + weight (370g) 20/50 = 45 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Forgiveness 24 = shape (diamond) 0/45 + firmness (not published) 17.5/35 + face material (carbon) 0/20 = 17.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
    • Comfort 39 = firmness (not published) 20/40 + face material (carbon) 0/25 + balance (not published) 10/20 + weight (370g) 6/15 = 36 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
