It's not designed for playing at top speed. Instead, it's meant to help you defend with composure and confidence, giving you enough time to place your passes accurately and avoid feeling pressured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHere's How DEFENSIVE CONTROL Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe DEFENSIVE CONTROL offers a very responsive and controlled feel. The thick spruce outer veneers ensure longer ball contact: The ball doesn’t bounce back erratically, giving you a moment longer to control it. This is especially helpful in defense, allowing you to precisely control the direction and spin of the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eWith a moderate pace and high control, the focus is clearly on safety. But don’t worry—the blade isn’t extremely slow. We’ve used a thick Kiri core veneer, which gives the blade a solid pace so you can strike a suitable ball with precision.\u003cbr\u003eOverall, you’ll enjoy greater stability and control, especially in situations where a faster blade would be unnecessarily difficult to control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eIts greatest strength, of course, lies in defense. The long ball contact and moderate pace help you return underspin shots with control and place them precisely. Ideal for anyone who likes to frustrate their opponents with precise placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-large racket head in size DEF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eOne unique feature is the 162 × 156 mm racket head, which significantly enlarges the sweet spot. If you don't quite hit the ball exactly where you want, this gives you some extra leeway and helps you save a point or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe larger head also shifts the balance more toward the clubhead, making it top-heavy. This is exactly what helps with topspin: Because the center of gravity is higher up, you can generate plenty of swing with less arm action and put spin on the ball.\u003cbr\u003eThat’s why it’s also a good fit for defensive players who don’t want to finish every point exclusively with backspin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHere's what you should look for before buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe DEFENSIVE CONTROL is clearly designed for defense. For consistently fast offensive play, we have more suitable blades in our lineup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe large DEF blade size makes the club more head-heavy. If you're used to playing with smaller blades, you should keep that in mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlternatives to DEFENSIVE CONTROL:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIOUS OFFENSIVE:\u003c\/strong\u003e If you feel you're lacking a bit of speed and are looking for a faster defensive blade, you can also order the VARIOUS OFFENSIVE in DEF blade size using the configurator, for example.
