Who It Suits

It suits attacking players who want diamond power in a lighter racket. Women and lighter players who attack will find it a good fit.

Good for

  • Lighter attacking players
  • Women who like to attack
  • Players moving up to a diamond

Not ideal for

  • Beginners
  • Players who want control first

How It Performs

This version is quicker in the hand than the standard Vertex 04. You can bring it up fast at the net, and the high balance still adds weight to smashes.

The carbon and glass fibre face gives a bit of flex, so it feels more forgiving than a full carbon diamond.

As with any diamond, low balls and defence ask more of you than a round racket would.

Players who are moving from a teardrop to their first diamond should find the transition easier here than with a heavier model. The reduced weight means mistakes on timing are less costly.
