Who this racket is for

The set lion 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 medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 361-365g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Pros

  • Teardrop shape delivers a natural balance between power and control
  • High maneuverability enables fast net reactions and quick defensive repositioning
  • Medium-soft feel balances comfort with responsive feedback on every shot
  • Excellent control enables precise shot placement under competitive pressure
  • Good power rating supports an attacking game from the baseline

Cons

  • Less suited to defensive players who prefer head-light, round-shape rackets
  • Soft construction may not satisfy players craving a firmer, snappier response
  • Not the best choice for players prioritising touch and placement over pace
