Comments: I picked this racquet up to add to my collection. I like playing with stiff, powerful, oversize racquets that are extended length. This stick fit the bill on all of that. As expected there was a lot of power from the racquet. It feels very stiff, almost board-like. With good prep and a short swing, the ball went through the air with plenty of pace. As a light racquet, it sometimes couldn't hold its own against heavy hitters, but putting away sitters was not a problem.
Regarding the grip, I didn't really get it. The grip is really just a thin piece of foam that is over the plastic handle. It didn't provide any cushion and I could definitely feel the ridges of the plastic handle underneath. There is no texture to the grip either so it is slippery from the start and just gets more slick as you sweat. I cut the foam off an added a regular grip and then an overgrip. The cosmetics are nice, a little flashy but fun. The racquet seems like a high quality stick. Overall, I'm glad I picked it up.

Comments: I highly recommend this racquet. Feels great on my arm - I was having trouble with tennis elbow and my friend let me try his. It also felt great all around the court. The grip takes some getting use to, but when you get the hang of it I really liked it.
