FAQs
What is the recommended string tension?
String tension depends on your playing style. Consult with a professional stringer for personalized advice. Generally, a tension between 50-60 lbs is a good starting point.
What is the benefit of the braided graphite + basalt construction?
This construction provides enhanced feel and torsional stability, improving your control and the racket's response during impact.
How often should I restring my racket?
Restring based on how often you play and the string type. As a general guideline, restring as many times per year as you play per week. For example, if you play three times a week, restring at least three times a year.
Is this racket suitable for beginners?
While it can be used by beginners, the Blade series is generally favored by intermediate to advanced players due to its focus on control and feel. Beginners might prefer a racket with more power assistance.
What is the purpose of the matte finish?
The Emerald Night Green matte finish provides a stylish look and reduces glare from the sun, which can help with focus during play.
How does the balance affect play?
The -4 pts unstrung balance makes the racket head light, which enhances maneuverability and allows for quicker swing speeds.
Troubleshooting

Check your grip size and string tension. Adjusting these can improve stability. Consider experimenting with string type.

Experiment with different string tensions and practice your swing technique. The 16x19 string pattern emphasizes control, but technique is key.
