Weight5U 78 g
A 78 g Carlton described as head light, so it should feel fast at the net and in defence. It suits intermediate doubles and mixed players who value reaction speed over raw power.
- Head-light balance gives fast hands in doubles
- Light 78 g weight
- Box frame for stability
- Less power from the back court
- Head-light claim comes from the shop listing and conflicts with the 75
- Balance point not published in mm
