In shortA firm, dry racket that most players praise for control, with decent power once adjusted to. Downsides include a small sweet spot where off-centre hits go dead, a head-heavy feel for some, and a demanding character. Better suited to more advanced players.

Plays the Neuron Edge: very manoeuvrable with great control and power, but off-centre hits feel stiff and the ball dies unless you're advanced.
“if you are not and advanced player and you hit the ball outside of the sweet spot it becomes really stiff and the ball dies on the plate.”
Swaps between it and a lighter racket: a much drier touch and a smaller sweet spot with very little ball output, so off-centre hits go nowhere, but still fun to use.
“Neuron is definitely smaller and it has very little ball output so if you don’t get it out of the sweet spot the ball goes nowhere”
