Hard sell: Another racket that comes with the promise of ‘the perfect balance between power and control’. The Quad Flex technology (four flex zones made from carbon and a new rubber cell resin system) helps to ‘cushion’ the ball on impact, thereby increasing dwell time and control. Quad Flex also increases power by acting like a trampoline when the ball meets the strings.

Tennishead says: Like the Yonex racket that was tested in this batch, we thought the look of this would probably appeal more to a girl than a guy, what with it’s red/salmon pink flashes of colour. No matter – you can decide that! What we were certain of is that for £110 you get a racket that, like the Slazenger marketing men promise, gives you plenty of power but good control too. A digital analysis flex reading of 72 provides good weight behind the shot and the even to head heavy balance also helps generate pace as the racket head swings easily through the hitting zone.
