Collection note: Price is displayed in US dollars ("$") because the official site was serving its Estados Unidos storefront to this browser; no EUR price was shown. Collection is printed as 2025/2026, year recorded as 2025 because the URL and reference carry 25. The page contradicts itself twice: the description says "balance bajo" while the spec sheet says "Balance Medio-alto", and the description says core "de dureza media" while the spec sheet says "Núcleo duro para -25ºC". Balance value and core hardness value are left null for that reason. Shown as out of stock today. Club member prices of 219,35 $, 207,16 $ and 194,98 $ are also printed.
How our estimates work
These ratings are calculations from published specifications, not measured playing results or our play tests.
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 26 = shape (round) 0/45 + balance (not published) 17.5/35 + weight (347.5g) 3/20 = 20.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Control 74 = shape (round) 60/60 + balance (not published) 20/40 = 80 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Handling 64 = balance (not published) 25/50 + weight (347.5g) 42.5/50 = 67.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Forgiveness 68 = shape (round) 45/45 + firmness (not published) 17.5/35 + face material (hybrid) 10/20 = 72.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Comfort 54 = firmness (not published) 20/40 + face material (hybrid) 12.5/25 + balance (not published) 10/20 + weight (347.5g) 12.8/15 = 55.3 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Value 13 = mean of the two highest ratings, divided by the price in euros, scaled so the best value in the index is 100
