Troubleshooting

Racket feels too stiff or harsh.

Ensure the racket is strung at an appropriate tension for your play style. Consider using a softer string or a dampener.

Lack of power on shots.

Verify string tension is not too high. Ensure your technique is optimized for power generation, as the racket's design complements a solid swing.

Difficulty controlling the ball.

Experiment with different string types and tensions. Ensure you are utilizing the ISOMETRIC sweet spot effectively.
