Our take
T700 raw carbon face and an open-throat design for manoeuvrability. The weight-tuning system is a nice touch, but it adds complexity beginners don't need.
- Best forPlayers who want spin and softer touch in a manoeuvrable frame.
- The catchPrice is premium for a brand that isn't winning the current hype war.
