Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, keep the racquet away from extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect the integrity of the frame and string tension. Regularly check the condition of the grip, replacing it once it becomes worn or loses its tackiness to maintain a secure hold. When storing the racquet, use a protective case to prevent impact damage. We recommend checking the string tension periodically, as standard wear can lead to a loss of the controlled "feel" this model is known for.
