Who this racket is for
The softee beginner is built for beginner players looking for an easy-to-handle, forgiving racket. Its round shape concentrates the sweet spot in the center of the face, increasing tolerance and favouring control. With a low balance, it gains maneuverability and quick response at the net. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. With a weight of 325g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.
