Balance determines whether your racket is head heavy, even or head light.
Flexibility ranges from 0 – 100%, the higher the percentage, the chance of generating power in your shot.
Total Weight is the unstrung weight of the racket as measured by Yonex Precision Scan. Heavier rackets generate more power.
Swing Weight is measured by the swinging of the racket at a specific speed. A lighter swing weight can lead to more control.
Performance Swing Weight considers the weight, balance and swing weight to give you an effective estimate of the power behind your racket.

Key Features
- Mid-weight frame – a balance of power and control that suits a wide range of styles, from smashing at the back of the court to precise net play.

- Modern cosmetics – a clean, modern finish.
Performance Overview
The Vex Striker 100 is built as an all-rounder. The mid-weight, evenly balanced frame gives enough power for clears and smashes while staying easy to control at the net, and the VS head shape helps keep shots on target when contact is not perfectly central. Because it arrives strung with Zymax 69 Fire, there is nothing extra to sort out before your first session.
