A cheaper sibling of the 2021 99 Pro using the same head shape and wide grommets with a more standard frame material. It offered an affordable route into the stiff, head-heavy 99 feel.
- Solid smash power and stable feel
- Same shape and sweet-spot design as the Pro
- Much cheaper than the Pro when new
- Stiff and head-heavy - tiring for casual players
- Superseded in 2025
- Slightly less refined feel than the Pro
Where to buy
