Performance breakdown
Why the scores look this way
Power is 9/10, 1.5 points above the database average. A higher power score means the frame should help create depth and pace with less effort; a lower score usually rewards fuller swings and better timing.
Stability is 8/10, close to the database average. A higher stability score means the racket should resist twisting better against pace, though it may require more strength to swing well.
Forgiveness is 8/10, close to the database average. A higher forgiveness score means the racket gives more margin on off-center contact, which matters most for beginners and improving players.

6/10 versus a database average of 6.9/10. A higher control score means the frame should help players aim confidently on full swings; a lower score usually trades precision for easier depth.
