Balance: Medium (even) · 260 mmWhere the weight is concentrated. A neutral feel: neither sluggish nor whippy. It suits all-round players. Higher balance generally favours power, lower balance usually improves maneuverability.
Thickness: 38 mmA full 38 mm profile (the regulation maximum) gives more stability and power.
Frame material: Carbon tube
Face material: X-Tend Carbon 3K
