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: Graphene-reinforced (Graphene Inside)
Face material: Double Carbon, no roughness
Core: Control FoamPrecise and powerful at higher swing speeds, while still giving some help on slower balls.
