    The X-Men!

    The X-Men!

    after hitting with this racket some more....i find that I really like it...and it has a lot more power and spin as compared to my ncode 6.1 tour. I think this racket is much more easier to hit from both sides....and imo....not lose any control at all! Great investment for me! :D
