Key Features

- Oversized Teardrop OS shape – an enlarged sweet spot for forgiving contact and consistent accuracy.
- Power Foam core – extra punch on attacking shots and smashes without losing touch.
- Fibreglass hitting surface – a softer feel for touch, ball control and comfort during rallies.
- Innegra™ technology – absorbs shock and boosts frame stability, reducing vibration for a steadier swing.
- Integrated Protector System (IPS) – shields the frame from chips and scratches.
- Tailored Tube construction – optimised tube sections for performance and durability where it counts.
- Extended impact zone – a larger sweet spot for easier contact and reliable performance on off-centre hits.
Performance Overview
Built for juniors moving from beginner to performance-level play, this racket blends control and power with comfort. The teardrop shape and fibreglass surface give a forgiving touch, while Power Foam and Innegra keep responses stable and punchy in fast exchanges. IPS protection and tailored construction stand up to competitive sessions and travel between courts.
Young players gain shot accuracy and pace without overloading their technique: a forgiving sweet spot, reduced vibration and a stable frame mean more consistent rallies, fewer mis-hits and more confidence to attack.
Who Is It For?
Junior players (10+) ready to compete, transitioning from beginner to performance play.
