Easy to play with racket for many levels of players
With the aerial game, you need to make more effort with your arm because otherwise the ball doesn’t come out with much power.
At the net, its easy to maneuver and control. Not a power racket. Its weight, the roughness and the ability to control the ball’s placement helps us in the aerial game.
The sweet spot is adequately sized for consistent performance.
Very maneuverable in the back of the court. Helps us with defense.
