The Fibreglass weave is what sets this apart from standard carbon rackets. The face snaps back faster on contact, translating to more ball speed on volleys and a crisper feel on flat shots.

HEAD's Soft Foam strikes a balance between power and comfort. Firmer than soft EVA found in beginner rackets for better energy return, but not so stiff that it jars your arm.

Teardrop with a high balance point. Versatile combination — generous sweet spot for defence, enough head weight for power at the net.

Brand new players who want something comfortable and affordable to learn with. Especially good if you are concerned about arm or elbow strain.
