The ribbed texture increases friction against the ball cover, giving players extra bite for topspin and slice, while its low-powered nature allows aggressive players to swing out without fear of overhitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControl \u0026amp; Precision: 9.5 \/ 10: \u003c\/b\u003ePhenomenal directional control.
