My Experience With the Racket
It is a lightweight racket, which makes it easy to maneuver during the game. Its handle is very comfortable and does not slip. The most significant disadvantage of this racket is the speed. It doesn’t carry the speed as the manufacturer claimed, which 120/100. I have tried it out myself, and I think the maximum speed I will give to this racket is 80/100.
The appearance of the racket is quite good.ย
The racket is not fast, hence not suitable for offensive players who play aggressive attacks. It is more suitable for people to play defending or playing all-round type.
Another disadvantage of this racket is the price. Some people will think this racket isn’t worth the asking price. It is too expensive for this level of quality. They can get other similar quality rackets at a lower price.
Overall, this racket can help to improve your skill and makes you play better in a game. It is not suitable to play the offensive game, and the price can be too high for some players.
