The lightest-tension and cheapest of the Calibre graphite rackets, aimed at newer players moving up from an aluminium racket. The even balance and flexible shaft make it easy to swing and forgiving on off-centre hits, but it is not built for hard smashing or high string tension.
- Low price for a full-graphite frame
- Even balance and flexible shaft are easy on the arm
- Extra-long 68 cm frame adds some reach
- Only 26 lb maximum tension
- Flexible shaft gives little power on full swings
- Spec data on shop pages is brief
Where to buy
