The Mantis Xenon 285 tennis racket is a nicely balanced racket which offers soft feel on shots, & is intended for developing, intermediate players. There is a vibration dampener in the bridge which works to eliminate vibrations, especially on shots that miss the racket's sweet spot, so they don't affect your shot control. The 100in 2 (645cm 2) head lets you develop good power behind your shots, & the frame weighs 285g (10oz) & is head light for enhanced manoeuvrability & playability. This strong, graphite racket is supplied strung in an open 16x 19 pattern & comes with a full cover to protect it between uses.
