Who Pro Ultimate Is For
Buy if
- You like extra reach and leverage on groundstrokes
- High swing weight (123.14) gives you serious plow-through power
- You prefer the soft, forgiving feel of a 16mm core
Skip if
- You prefer a wider face for easier contact on fast exchanges
- You need fast hand speed at the net — this is a heavy swinger
- Low twist weight (5.54) means off-center hits lose more pace
- You want maximum pop — thinner cores are snappier
