I have been using this for a couple years and it has been a great racquet. Good balance of power and spin/control. Feel a really good pop off the strings.

It was recommended to buy this racquet by a former Top 10 ATP doubles player. I have a big groundstroke and a big serve (and was told it would match my power level when I was an average 3.5 player). It uplifted my groundstrokes more efficiently and made them stronger and when I first using it - I felt the racquet added to my power but a little heavier, and I could definitely feel the effect of the longer level giving more power. Now at 4.0 playing 3+ times a week, the racquet is responding with the equal amount of power no matter how much I give. I have two of these racquets that I always strung the same way with Solinco Outlast 17 (at 50/48 lbs). I'm also particular about the handle shape - no other brands fit me better than the dimension of the rectangular cross section of the Babolat racquets (some other brands are more square than rectangular so they don't feel steady in my hands), so I've been sticking with them for a long time.

Bought this racquet to upgrade from the 2006 model and it is just night and day with comfort on ground strokes.

Like it. bought it. This racquet has all the great features of the 2012 plus so much more. I had to adjust my string tension from 27# to 25# to make the transition to this racquet. Great power, spin, control. This racquet has it all.
