A mid swell profile creates a versatile sweet spot that performs well for both front foot and back foot stroke play. Whether driving through the covers, working the ball into gaps or playing square of the wicket, the balanced profile supports confident shot selection.
The dynamic sweet spot provides a responsive feel across the blade and helps maintain performance when contact is slightly away from the middle.
