“Started on this after two seasons of borrowed frames. The even balance and low-torque flex mean my net kills finally go where I aim — no twist on an off-centre contact. Strung at 22lb it stays crisp.”

The entry point. A light, even-balance frame that rewards clean technique and quick hands at the net. Forgiving enough to learn on, honest enough to keep as your control racket.

Why we picked it
The case for this frame.
A first racket should teach, not fight back. The 001 Feel sits at an even 285mm so the head never runs ahead of your hand — you learn where contact is, then keep the frame as a control racket long after you have outgrown the price.

“Featherweight and forgiving. It rewards a clean swing and never fights back at the net, though it does run out of gas on deep clears once I tire.”

Questions
Before you buy.
Do you string the racket before it ships?
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.
How do I choose grip size — G4 or G5?
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.
How fast does it ship, and what does it cost?
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.
What if it doesn't suit my game?
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.
