Guide Review
A capable tool for creative players.
This racquet, at 11 ounces (strung), is lighter than most advanced players' sticks, and with a 3/4" head-light balance on a 27.5" frame, highly maneuverable. Reviewers give it excellent marks for comfort and solidity. Strung with 16 mains and 19 crosses on a 98-square-inch head, the Ti-1700 offers touch and spin that draw high praise from Martina Hingis and the reviewers at Tennis Warehouse. The tapered 22-25 mm beam is only medium-stiff, which helps reduce shock, but also limits power. The Ti-1700 may be hard to beat for advanced, all-court players who love spin.
