The top racket of the third-generation 99 family and the most head-heavy frame in Yonex's own line-up. It is built for players with a full, fast swing who want maximum steep smash power from the back of the court, and it asks for good technique in return.
- Very heavy, steep smashes and punchy clears
- Lightweight end cap and top-weighted frame push the balance well up the head
- Japan-made build with high-end graphite and a stable face on contact
- Tiring and slow to bring back for defence if your arm or timing is not strong
- Top-end price
- Little forgiveness on off-centre hits compared with the Tour/Game versions
