A Protech racket with an extra-stiff shaft and a head-heavy 305 mm balance, in 4U. It is a different, cheaper frame than the Aston Pro V2 (30T graphite instead of 40T plus M46J), aimed at players who want a hard-hitting stiff racket.
- 305 mm balance and extra-stiff shaft for hard smashes
- 27 to 32 lb recommended tension
- Cheaper than the Aston Pro line
- Extra-stiff shaft is hard on slower swings
- Only an excerpt of one Malaysian listing found; page would not open
