First-generation flagship of the Axforce line: very head-heavy, stiff and built on an unusually thin 6.0 mm shaft. It rewards fast, clean swings and heavy rear-court smashing, and is not forgiving of slow arms.

  • Heavy, steep smashes with little energy lost in the shaft
  • Very thin shaft cuts drag for quick racket-head speed
  • Stable frame on hard hits
  • Demanding: needs strong technique and a fast swing
  • Head weight makes fast front-court and defensive exchanges slower
