RX Series
RX Series Light
Which one suits you
Pick the RX Series if
- You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
Pick the RX Series Light if
- You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
- You want a lighter racket: about 15 g less.
Not a factor, because they are the same on both: price (within a few pounds today), shape (both round), feel (both soft), level (both intermediate).
