I must have demoed at least 24 or more of the top rated racquets from TW over the past year and I just happened to add this racquet to my demo list. I don't usually demo such large oversize racquets because they tend to have that trampoline effect and sail the ball. I gained incredible amount of pace on my serves and my groundstrokes with no loss of control. The racquet is light and if not hit in the sweetspot the racquet will twist. However the sweetspot is so huge that it's not a big problem. Of all the racquets I demoed this year this racquet instantly added the most to my game.” John, Riverside, CA
