Softer build: This reads the published build — head shape, core, weight, balance and face — and nothing else. It describes the racket, not what it will do to your arm: it cannot see swingweight, frame stiffness, damping, your grip, your technique or how much you play. If elbow or wrist pain has persisted, talk to a coach or a physio before you change racket.
