Pros
- Elongated shape gives extra reach on defense, overheads, and two-handed backhands
Cons
- Below-average power at 54.1 MPH (bottom 6%, avg 56.4) — you'll need to generate pace with technique
- Lower pop at 35.1 MPH (15th percentile, avg 36.1) — may feel sluggish in fast hands exchanges
- Low stability — twist weight of 5.1 (bottom 2%) means off-center hits will twist more in your hand
- Narrower face means a smaller horizontal sweet spot
