The rear-court partner's frame. A touch head-heavy so there is weight behind the smash, with a medium shaft that keeps timing generous through a full doubles rally.
The 'D' is for drive — the back of the doubles court. We picked it because 298mm puts real weight behind the smash while the medium shaft keeps your timing forgiving, so a long rear-court rally never runs your arm out of rhythm.
“The designated back-court frame for my doubles pairing. The smash lands with real weight, but the medium shaft still lets me flatten a drive when the rally turns fast. Balance point suits an attacking rotation.”
“Took a week to adjust to the head-heavy feel — my first few clears sailed long. Once the timing clicked the power is undeniable. Wish it shipped at 26lb rather than 24.”
“Rock-solid on the smash, still nimble enough to defend the flat exchange. Exactly the rear-court tool the datasheet describes.”
Yes. Every frame is strung in-house to your chosen tension inside the 20–29 lb range and rests a full day before it goes in the box. Prefer it bare? Add a note at checkout and we ship it unstrung with the grommets untouched.
G5 is the slimmer standard adult grip most players start on; G4 is one size larger for bigger hands or anyone who builds up with an overgrip. When in doubt, pick G5 and fine-tune with an overgrip.
In-stock frames leave the workshop the next business day. Shipping is free over $75 and a flat $6 under that, with tracking sent the moment the label prints.
Every frame comes with a 30-day play test. If it fights your swing, send it back within 30 days for a full refund or a swap to another frame — we cover the return label.
