Pros
- users say the racket:
- clears are effortless and not tiring
- drop shots are easy
- lightweight and fast to move around
- smashes are powerful
- good control
- 1 user said it was durable enough for months of play even with mishits
Cons
- only supports up to 27 lbs of tension which may be insufficient for players who seek higher tension support
- 1 user said their frame broke in only 25 days (it is unknown what led to the frame breaking)
- 1 user said their strings broke twice after only a few round of play and that their frame broke after only 5 rounds of play
- 1 user said the racket is only okay for smash, defense and below average for drives
- expensive (over 170 AUD)
Other comment
There seems to be conflicting anecdotes about the durability of the racket. It is possible the frame break is due to the users stringing the rackets with too high tension which would be consistent with the strings-breaking claim of one user (27 lbs is the maximum tension supported by Yonex).
