Rising intermediate players looking for comfort, precision and speed should love the Gravity MP Lite. At 10.4 ounces strung and boasting a low 303 RDC swingweight, this racquet should also work for the dedicated beginner. It has a flexible frame, making it one of the more arm-friendly racquets in its class. Built with Graphene 360+, the Gravity MP Lite combines the stability and power of Graphene 360 with a technology called SpiralFibers in the lower head for a cleaner feel at impact. This racquet also features a rounder head shape towards the tip of the racquet. This not only creates a more comfortable and responsive contact zone, it makes it easier to attack the ball at extreme angles for maximum spin. From the baseline, this racquet’s speedy acceleration helps when going for pace, and the impressive level of control will boost your confidence when attempting riskier shots and trying to close out points. There’s also enough spin-potential to hit sharp angles and bring the ball down effectively. The maneuverability continues at net where improving players will find it easy to spring into action when opportunity knocks. Although the Gravity MP Lite doesn’t redirect the pace of a big serve as effectively as the standard MP version, it feels solid for its weight and it will give you the needed speed and precision to stay aggressive. Ultimately, with its fast feel, controllable power and generous sweetspot, the Gravity MP Lite is a great option for the intermediate player who wants ease of use. The fact that it comes with an arm-friendly stiffness rating is an awfully nice bonus.
