This review is the for pro version, 3/8 grip strung with whatever head sends them strung with. Hit with it for last 2 days, total of about 6 hours.

Groundstrokes 8/10: The racket is very stable and has a pretty big sweetspot. It was easy to get good depth if i got set up. Its fairly heavy... and when i got to around 3 hours of playing in the 95 degree heat, i couldnt swing it as fast. But thats something i could work on. Slice was great and it was easy to get spin.

Serve 9.5/10: This is where the racket stood out imo. I could get some major kick on my serves, or flaten out with ease. It felt like i could keep the racket on the ball until the last minute, giving me great control. The weight of the racket really helps.

Volleys 9/10: I was getting really good depth and power from volleys, placing balls where ever i wanted. I dont usually hang around the net due to a tendency of backing up, but i found myself stepping in and using the weight of the racket to hit some deep volleys and finish points faster.

Also the racket looks great in person :)

Overall i really liked this racket, but not so much that i would switch from my k95.
 
The racquet beam seems kind of thin (18mm straight beam). Do you feel the racquet head "bends" or "deforms" on contact when hitting heavy balls? That's the feeling I get when I hit with Pure Storm (19mm straight beam).
