Verdict
The classic black octagon that made shaped poly famous—heavy spin and firm control if you already swing big; stiff, not free power, and not Rafa’s exact 15L bed.
Classic Prestige midplus—99 box-beam control with Auxetic 2 softness and more usable pace than the franchise’s brick reputation, if you already swing with intent.
The silver co-poly that defined modern control stringing—firm, precise, and still the tour benchmark if you swing hard and restring often.
