As an intermediate player, I’ve purchased different racquets in hopes of improving my game. For the past five years, my forehand/backhand was never consistent until I decided to give the Nova V3 100 a try. This racquet gives me a sense of confidence that I never had before. Now, 90% of my returns ends in a popping sound, which is music to my ears.

Great racuqet specs. Feels like an extension of the arm. Great for all round game, defense, offense and soft touch at net. However quality of grommets and materials is sub standard. All strings pop quickly except Diadem ProX all poly which gives on average about 3-4 hours of play which is still not a lot. Maybe other poly might work too. The grommets have to be improved.

Fantastic racket. Bought another as a backup because I love the frame so much. Very maneuverable, especially as a player that uses a one handed backhand, I can generate enough pace and spin, a bit lacking as far as making your hits penetrating but if you have a varied game, this racket is perfect. Also, feels great at the net.
