The tour control benchmark: stiff, low-powered and very precise, with a low launch that rewards full swings and punishes short arms. Fresh, it feels crisp to the point of boardy, settles into its best window after an hour or two, then sheds tension, and many players call it flat around 8 to 10 hours even though it rarely breaks. Drop 2 to 4 lb from your multi tension; low 50s or below is a common start, high 40s if your arm is a concern. Best for 4.0+ players who make their own pace. Too harsh, try Tour Bite Soft or ALU mains with NXT crosses; want more bite, try Hyper-G.
Best for: 4.0+ who hit through the ball. Feel: Crisp, controlled. Gauge: 16L. Look at the gauge on the pack before it goes in the racket.
