Pros

• Heavy swing weight of 129 (top 2%) delivers extra momentum and plow-through on drives
• Elongated shape gives extra reach on defense, overheads, and two-handed backhands
• Thick core (16mm+) provides a soft, controlled feel with a large sweet spot
• Lightweight at 7.8 oz (bottom 8%) — reduces fatigue during long sessions

Cons

• Low stability — twist weight of 5.48 (bottom 7%) means off-center hits will twist more in your hand
• Very high swing weight of 129 (top 2%) can cause fatigue and slow hand transitions
• Narrower face means a smaller horizontal sweet spot
• Thick core trades some pop and hand speed for control
