Who this racket is for

The head bolt 2023 is a versatile racket that fits several player profiles. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. Its 360-370g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
