Using high tech Pebax technology, the XS 102 provides a larger sweetspot, allowing more forgiveness from all areas of the court. At just over 10 ounces strung, our test team found the XS 102 to be extremely maneuverable, while offering plenty of power. At net, the large, forgiving sweetspot and putaway power make volleys a cinch. The open 16/20 string pattern offers plenty of bite on the ball, providing nice spin potential while offering a lively feel. The Babolat XS 102 is a great option for the intermediate 3.0-4.5 level player looking for more power and forgiveness.
