It incorporates technologies found in higher-end models but at a more accessible price point. The racket features a head-heavy balance and a medium flex shaft, which aids in generating powerful backcourt smashes and provides a more forgiving feel for developing players. Its design includes an Isometric head shape for an enlarged sweet spot, and the Rotational Generator System to optimize weight distribution for quicker transitions between shots. The Slim Shaft is designed for faster swing speeds, and the Power Assist Bumper adds to the power by directing weight into the shuttlecock. The frame is constructed from graphite, as is the shaft. It is 10mm longer than standard rackets and has a weight of 4U (approximately 83g) with a grip size of G5. The recommended stringing tension is between 20-28 lbs. This model typically comes pre-strung with Yonex BG3 strings at 20lbs. While its head-heavy balance is excellent for offensive play, some players might find it less responsive for very delicate net play.
