Before I begin, I will say, as a Yonex/Li-Ning racket user, I struggled to get on with this racket initially. This was mainly due to the non-isometric racket head shape and struggled to hit the "sweet spot".
However, that being said, and with some perseverance; once I got used to it, the astonishing performance of this racket shone.
The racket head is fast, and the power it generates is surprisingly good, clears easily hit the baseline both forehand and backhand, drives are fast and crisp, smash power is good (better than the Kawasaki H2 and the windstorm 72s, possibly even more than the 74 also). Frontcourt skill shots are easy and defensive drives and blocks are great, power and control.
If I had to note an area which is less good, I would say defensive lifts/flick back take a little more force to get them full length off a smash; mainly due to the stiffness of the shaft, but I can live with this, when balancing against the attacking shots. Drops and smashes are fantastic, and the angles and power you can generate is surprising for a lightweight racket.
I agree with the rave reviews for this racket, 10 out of 10 for me... possibly will invest in a few more.
