A 78 g, 5U racket from the Vex Striker range with a flexible shaft and a balance a little towards the head. It is built for fast defence and net play in doubles, and costs far less than the Phantom frames.
- 78 g gives very fast racket-head speed
- Flexible shaft helps power from a short swing
- Priced like a budget racket
- Only 26 lbs maximum string tension
- Single retailer source, so specs are less certain
- Light frame is less stable against heavy hitting
