Key features
-
Head-light Nanoflare design: weight sits towards the handle, so the racket feels quick in the hand for fast exchanges and defence.
-
Hi-Flex shaft: the shaft bends easily, so it is forgiving and helps generate depth with a shorter, easier swing.
-
All-graphite build: lighter and more responsive than steel or aluminium starter rackets.
-
10 mm longer frame: a little extra length gives more reach and leverage on overhead shots.

How is it different from the 700 Game and 700 Tour?

The 700 Game has a Hi-Flex graphite shaft with a built-in T-Joint, and the 700 Play is a Hi-Flex all-graphite model for recreational players.
