RS x-Series Cayetano Rocafort Edition 2020 in the defense

The first thing we notice is the comfort, it’s easy to handle and the feel is soft. The sound is muted and vibrations are reduced effectively.

In defense, it’s easy to move into the right positions which help when playing under pressure. The softer core helps generate speed in slower shots and the sweet spot is big.


RS x-Series Cayetano Rocafort Edition 2020 in the attack

Moving up the court it continues to deliver good results. It’s responsive in volleys and bandejas and the softer core helps generate speed in smashes. It’s lacking some weight and balance to be truly powerful, but the overall impression is positive.

This model is suitable for medium to advanced level players.
