Balance: High (head-heavy) · 270 mmWhere the weight is concentrated. Hits harder on smashes and volleys, but feels slower to swing and is more demanding on the shoulder and elbow. 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 with graphene
Face material: 2D Carbon, Extreme Spin
