A Stern with a quad-balance frame and a 290 mm balance that Apacs calls head-heavy. A medium (8.5) shaft makes it a comfortable mid-priced club racket.
- Quad balance frame design for stability
- Medium shaft is forgiving without feeling floppy
- 38 lb tension cap
- Apacs' 'head heavy' label sits at the same 290 mm as other models it calls even, so the wording is inconsistent
- Fairly heavy at 85 g
- Out of stock on the brand site; no UK stockist found
Where to buy
