Offering comfort with power, the Head Youtek Star Five provides versatile performance and appeals to a wide variety of players. From the baseline there is plenty of pop for depth and passing shots. The open string pattern lends itself to good access to spin, helping control the powerful response. Our playtesters were pleasantly surprised with the amount of comfort and control offered in the Star Five. Quadface technology extends the stringbed to enlarge the sweetspot, consequently adding consistent power. Also helping with the consistency and control is the Control Ring. This aids in the reduction of string deformation, most particularly with off center hits. The unique Multi-Zone Grip is a one piece grip offering excellent comfort that has sweat channels, helping to keep the grip dry. Intermediate players will find plenty of playability for both singles and doubles play. With great all court performance, this is a must demo for oversize fans at the 3.5-4.5 level.
