How It Felt in My Testing

The Elite W feels easy to get ready. On return games, that quick preparation shows up immediately.

It is not a pure power racket, but it gives enough pop when you step forward. The best shots were early volleys and controlled lobs.

I liked it most when playing right side with a more aggressive partner, because it let me keep the rally clean and choose my attack later.
