Smashes are the place where this racket sins the most because its round shape and its core that absorbs more than its harder sister, the PR990 Precision Hard. But it still has a decent power. In the smashes, the ball goes OK, there’s some ball absorption in flat smashes, but it still allows you to accelerate the ball well. You can just feel a bit of weight missing in the head of the racket that would help with the leverage effect, but it’s still decent.

Volleys are one of the strong points of this racket, along with the back of the court. I felt very comfortable at the net with this racket. You feel the ball really well with this racket. No trouble if you miss the sweet spot slightly. You can slightly lose control at higher speeds.

Back of the court: Good handling, easy to play with, wide sweet spot, no problems if you slightly miss the sweet spot with your shot. Aerial game: It performs well in terms of handling. Of course, it doesn’t add as much weight to balls as a diamond would, but it has a core that accelerates the ball very well. I fell more comfortable when I play a little slower with this racket because the racket already puts the ball really deep “freely”. When you add a lot of speed, you have a slight slingshot effect.

It can be difficult to imprint power, but I was able to achieve decent power nevertheless.

I found it hard to send my lobs deep enough

Generous sweet spot

Very easy to handle - great in defense. It allows you easy changes of direction.
