Still shocked how fun and easy hitting with this racquet is! I’ve been playing since the late 90s with a pro staff / which is a heavier racquet similar to this- then a few years ago switched to the Wilson blade, which I still love. This racquet feels like I’m hitting harder and my top spin seems to seriously take off after it bounces. Love it!

This racquet is sick. HOWEVER, it is very heavy so you need to be a big strong man (or woman) to use it to its full potential. It looks the business and hits crazy topspin, but your forearm will take a beating until you get used to it. If you're a powerful player you'll love this racquet. If you're a girly man (or woman), look elsewhere. Pure Rafa diesel buddy.

Likes: -Powerful -Controllable (ish) -Serving -Volleys Dislikes - TINY margin for error - Insecurity Period of Break in - Tough to use Overall for the Baseliner who comes into volley when necessary. Must be a spin-oriented player. DO NOT recommend hitting flat unless you’ve got a stiff poly in here.

This racquet is quite heavy and offers a ton of power and spin. I would not recommend this for the average player, it is best for someone who is a high-level player as it wears you down fast if you are not used to a racquet with this sort of weight and swingweight. Otherwise, I love the weight and feel for a bit but, I can't play full matches with it. I'll use it occasionally but definitely prefer my traditional Pure Aero a lot more.
