Sharp square edges, big bite and a low launch, but it is harsh: stiff, boardy and short on pocketing. It also loses tension faster than Hyper-G, so the harshness does not buy you longevity. Only for strong 4.0+ hitters with healthy arms who want maximum edge grab; high 40s to low 50s. Most players are better off on Hyper-G (control, tension hold) or Tour Bite Soft (comfort).
Best for: Heavy swingers on shaped poly. Feel: Harsh, sharp. Gauge: 16L. Look at the gauge on the pack before it goes in the racket.
