A big departure from my old racquet. With this I can place the ball pretty much wherever and however I want it. Moving away from the 'teardrop' shape and onto this control based type of frame is a massive difference. Def doesn't have the power of my old racquet, but it's sooo much more precise, and the sweet spot is still pretty forgiving so it's still easy to hammer the ball. If you're looking for more control I'd recommend this racquet.
