Babolat's Y 112 offers a solid blend of power, comfort and control. Players at the beginner through intermediate level will find this stick a good fit for a compact to medium length swing style. From the baseline the racquet offers excellent access to spin. Depth and pace are easily created thanks to the lively response from the stringbed. Comfort is excellent due largely to the large sweetspot but also the stable response of the racquet - impressively stable considering the light, 9.6 ounce strung weight. Stability is enhanced through Babolat's Side Drivers technology. Side Drivers extends the yoke (the Y shaped part of the racquet) up the sides of the racquet head, in essence, widening the shoulders of the racquet and increasing the racquet's resistance to twisting. When strung with the recommended Babolat VS natural gut, this racquet offers even more power and comfort. A solid choice for 2.5 level players and above.
