Who this racket is for
The head vibe green/orange suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response.
