It runs a carbon frame over a fibreglass hitting surface with an EVA core, at 355g ±10g and 455mm long. Babolat classes it as a \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Striker\u003c\/strong\u003e racket: for players who want to finish points at the net, and who have the technique to find a smaller sweetspot consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA diamond frame is less forgiving than a round one by design — that is the trade you make for the extra bite on an overhead. If you are still working out where the middle of the face is, start on a round racket and come back to this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diamond head shape | 355g ±10g | 38mm thickness | 270mm ±10mm balance (head-heavy) | 455mm length | Fibreglass surface | Carbon frame | EVA core | Recommended grip: Syntec Pro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn availability:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a prior-season frame that Babolat has since discontinued — it is no longer listed in their current range.
