BLACK ACE 16 BLUE

84Universal Acclaim

The BLACK ACE 16 BLUE delivers impressive power and a soft, arm-friendly feel that appeals to players seeking comfort and control. However, reviewers note that control is not its strongest suit compared to stiffer frames, and the heavier swing weight may be a consideration for some players.

Beautiful feel, control not its strong suit: Kinetic tech can always be counted on to do its thing, but it really does hit different when it's in a stiffer racquet (like a Black Ace 105 or 7G), compared to when it's in a naturally flexy racquet like this. This 315 feels like a classic flexy frame that's been gilded with a modern glaze, and the result is a racquet which -- at least at this heavier spec -- feels so ridiculously comfortable that in terms of modern racquets, it really does belong in

Very soft but somewhat firm: Had a short hit just now and super arm friendly. Not a lot of topspin but great on slices. Serving ok but not bad. Feels similar to the ougoing model but heftier due to higher swingweight. The new cosmetic is very attractive. Not overpowering to play with. More control oriented. I would buy this or the 97 in head
