In shortPlayers describe it as very light and manoeuvrable, a favourite at the net, with a stiff feel that several find easy on the arm. The clear downside is a small sweet spot that makes off-centre hits die, and it demands good technique. A few players disagree and find it forgiving.

With elbow flare-ups caused by weight rather than hardness, settled on the Ultimate Pro Light: a hard racket at 346 g that is perfect for them and pain-free unless they overplay.
“Settled on the oxdog ultimate pro light. Hard racket, 346g with overgrip. Perfect racket for me.”
Owns the Ultimate Pro Light alongside an AT10 12K and a Metalbone HRD+: it has the hardest feel of the three and handles almost as easily as the AT10.
