The absolute best tennis racquet to learn with! I used this racquet for awhile when I was learning how to play tennis and now I use more competitive racquets so I have no need for this one. This racquet currently retails for over $100.00. I currently have it hybrid strung at an average tension. The string itself cost me almost $50.00. This racquet is a great deal for anyone looking to start playing tennis well. Has some scratches around the edges, only a bit of paint coming off though. Still beautifully aesthetic. Doesn't compromise play at all.
