MixedRemoving the Hesacore and fitting two overgrips improves handling. Controlled volleys and firm-paced víboras are reassuring, but off-centre contact loses depth and kick smashes need more technique and acceleration than several alternatives.

MixedWith the Hesacore removed, aggressive blocks, counterattacks and víboras work well with the firm, dry contact. Slower shots and off-centre hits need more work; the Vertex remains the more comfortable all-round choice.

MixedDeep lobs and improved ball output make defence more comfortable, while volleys and decisive víboras remain effective. Quick net exchanges and repeated overhead preparation become tiring, and the side-exit strap twists uncomfortably.

MixedRemoving the Hesacore leaves a 364 g, 27 cm setup that hits heavy volleys and spin-heavy bandejas, but is harder to prepare in defence. In cold Madrid tests with used balls, its smash distance is similar to the Xplo.
