Head FlexPoint 10 Tennis Racquet The Head FlexPoint 10 Oversize is a power-oriented option in the new-for-2005 Head FlexPoint series. The FlexPoint 10 offers a very powerful feel thanks to its 31mm width beam, yet is surprisingly controlled thanks to the “flexpoints” cut into the frame at 3:00 and 9:00. Also, slightly lighter than the other FlexPoint frames.
Two precisley engineered holes at the 3:00 and 9:00 position work together to bring power in control. The dimple is engineered to create flexibility by reducing beam height by a maximum of 25%. The hole reduces sectional stiffness up to 50%. Basically, the racquet is cupping the ball to hold the ball a split second longer and create a narrower path. A rifle instead of a shotgun. The racquet also produces less shock making the new FlexPoint 10 a winner for beginning to advanced intermediate players.

Customer Review: Great racquet for the intermediate player
Positives:
1. Great racquet with lots of power and feel. Love the low weight and light feel.
2. Negatives:
lack of feel from the midcourt (on the rise approach shots are a good example), need to compensate with a slower/shorter swing.
