A long-running retro Yonex with an oval head, slim box frame and an even-balance, stiff feel. It is a gentle, low-tension frame that old-school players still prefer for its traditional touch.
- Even balance is easy to swing
- Traditional oval head feels familiar to long-time players
- Simple Japanese-made frame
- Tension ceiling is only about 21 lb
- Old design lacks the sweet-spot size of modern rackets
- Stiff shaft gives little help on power
