A Carlton for players who mix attack and defence, with an even balance and medium-stiff shaft. It was the racket of Nathan Robertson and suits control-minded doubles players.

- Medium-stiff shaft is controllable
- Frame handles higher tensions
- Less smash power than head-heavy Vapour Trails
- Discontinued and hard to find
- Single-seller specs
