Who it is for

Intermediate to advanced players who like a small head but cannot swing 315 g.

Why it works

At 290 g the classic 97 in² platform becomes manoeuvrable while keeping a controlled response.

Watch-outs

A light small-headed frame is unforgiving on off-centre hits and light against pace.

Strengths

Precise and quick
Good for building technique

Trade-offs

Small sweet spot
Low stability

Advanced players
Control-first hitters
