MixedThe standard Vertex feels lively and significantly more powerful than his previous-year sample, with strong depth and finishing smashes. Handling remains acceptable despite the higher inertia. Forgiveness is the drawback: poor positioning or off-centre contact is punished, and he would personally choose Geo for greater control, comfort and long-session ease.

PositiveThe racket's attacking character is enjoyable, especially powerful overheads when he commits to the stroke. He finds it rewarding for active players moving forward. It offers little rescue on inaccurate contact, however: placement in the hitting zone matters and power is not effortless, so he does not see it as especially forgiving.

MixedVolleys feel weightier with the Vertex, with useful extra depth on víboras. He can complete the placement challenge with it, but its larger head and higher balance make quick movement and directing volleys harder than with the AT10. He sees the advantage in aerial pressure rather than maximum defensive agility or precision.

PositiveThe standard Vertex feels exceptionally powerful when contact is timed high on the face, producing the session’s highest smash bounce. It remains usable from the back, but the stiff feel is too much for his personal preference and the narrower effective contact zone demands accurate timing. He reserves it for strong, technically advanced players rather than everyone.
