FAQs

What is the recommended string tension?

The recommended string tension varies depending on your playing style and the string type. Consult with a stringing professional for personalized advice.

What grip size should I choose?

The correct grip size depends on your hand size. As a general guide, the index finger of your non-dominant hand should fit comfortably between your ring finger and palm when you hold the racket.

How often should I restring the racket?

Restringing frequency depends on your playing frequency and the type of strings used. As a general rule, restring as many times per year as you play per week, or when the strings lose tension or break.

How do I clean the racket frame?

Use a damp cloth to wipe the frame clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the benefit of the expanded sweet spot?

The expanded sweet spot provides a larger area on the racket face where the ball can be hit with optimal power and control, resulting in more consistent and forgiving shots.

Does the racket come with a cover?

The racket does not come with a cover, you need to purchase one separately.

Troubleshooting

Racket feels unstable on contact.

Check the string tension and consider adjusting it. Ensure the grip size is correct, and that you are using the correct swing weight.

Difficulty generating power.

Experiment with different string types and tensions. Ensure your swing technique is correct, focusing on a full follow-through.

Strings breaking frequently.

Consider using a more durable string type. Check your swing and technique for any excessive string abrasion.
