Play style first
Your game decides the frame. Match the racket to how you actually play.
- Power: head-heavy frames for steep smashes
- Speed: head-light frames for fast doubles
- Control: even balance for precise placement
- All-round: even balance, medium flex
Weight (U rating)
Lower U numbers are heavier. Most players land between 3U and 4U.
- 3U (around 88g): more weight behind each shot
- 4U (around 83g): faster, easier to maneuver
- Lighter frames suit quick exchanges
- Heavier frames reward a full swing
Balance point
Where the weight sits changes how the racket feels in your hand.
- Head-heavy: more power, slower handling
- Head-light: faster, more defensive
- Even balance: a versatile middle ground
Shaft stiffness
Stiffer shafts reward fast, technical swings; flexible shafts are more forgiving.
- Extra stiff: for advanced, fast swings
- Stiff: control for intermediate to advanced
- Medium: forgiving and comfortable
String tension
Tension shapes the balance between power and control.
- Lower (22 to 24 lbs): more power, larger sweet spot
- Higher (26 to 28 lbs): more control and precision
- Not sure? 24 lbs is a great starting point
Grip and strings
Small choices that make a real difference in feel and comfort.
- Add an overgrip for tackiness or sweat absorption
- BG65 for durability, BG80 for power, Exbolt for control
- We string every racket by hand before it ships
