Delivers an impressive combination of spin, comfort power to dedicated beginners and early intermediate players. In addition to this racket's arm-friendly stiffness rating, the Ripcord 265 comes pre-strung at a phenomenal price, making it ideal for value hunters who don't want to sacrifice performance. At 265 grams (unstrung), the Ripcord is maneuverable enough for learning the game, but it still packs enough mass in the head to keep the racket stable (and comfortable) through impact.
