At first I didn't enjoy it at all, it just felt off, but about halfway through my first hitting session everything started to click and the stick felt great. The single best shot with the pure drive was the serve, spin was incredible. I did wish it was a little heavier, so I'll be demoing the Roddick version next. All around great stick for baseliners.” Alex, Portland, OR
