The step-down from the 99 Pro, sharing the same head-heavy shape and power-assist bumper but with a Taiwan-built frame and a less exotic shaft. A strong choice for committed club players who want the 99 attacking feel for much less money.

  • Same steep-smash character as the Pro at about two-thirds of the price
  • Stiff shaft and stable frame for hard, flat attacks
  • Available in 3U and 4U
  • Needs a decent swing speed - not for gentle or defensive players
  • Does not have the Pro's 2G-Namd frame snapback
  • Heavy head can slow down net exchanges
