Who it is for

Strong advanced players who swing fast and hit with heavy topspin.

Why it works

315 g unstrung with the Aero frame shape and a 16x19 pattern produces heavy, dipping spin.

Watch-outs

Very demanding to swing; wrong choice for developing strength or a junior who simply admires Rafa.

Strengths

Extreme spin potential
Stability against pace

Trade-offs

Fatiguing
Low margin for short swings

Compatible player profiles
