Extremely durable. I have had this racquet for about 2 years and have never had a problem. Good control for the factory tension. Eventually restrung for power and had great results. Highly recommend for an intermediate player looking for an upgrade.

I loved the racquet. I don't play that often once a week for my local gym league. After one of the regular games I found a huge crack in the frame in the top left corner. The whole thing bursted open at one of the entry points for the string. Racquet was good overall but I have no clue why it broke. I don't hit the ball that hard. I'm still trying to break a ball and the frame of the racquet went first. Past the warranty period so I think I'm out of luck. My next racquet will be an E-Force I guess. Not a big fan of throwing money away.

this is a big step up from other racquets i have used ( cheap ones from walmart) i admit i did break my first 03 hybrid shark early on but it was more out of anger. this is a very strong powerful racquet. i have played with the 03 copper and it is much lighter. for half the price of the copper its amazing.

Good racket. I enjoy using it, but have tried some higher end rackets and noticed better control. This was a big step up from my last Eforce Bedlam.

Very good all around intermediate unit. Very forgiving due to slight frame flex, but not weak by ANY means. Easy on the wrist too.
