Control-leaning, but livelier and more accessible than the TF40. A full swing earns a penetrating, accurate ball.

Flat serves get respectable pop and spin serves shape well.

Block deep or step in and drive; stable and predictable on defence.

A soft, connected feel with enough stability for an all-court game.

Arm-considerate and pleasant over long matches; a soft poly suits it.
