Features<\/h2>\n

With a thin 14 mm and light swing weight, handling is light, and it's strong in fast exchanges at the net. Because pop works well, it's for players who want to lead by getting their hand out first.<\/p>\n

Because of the offense-focused design, adding stability with weight customization (lead tape) makes it easier to draw out its potential.<\/p>\n
