If there’s one family that Victor is currently the youngest in, it’s the Harness. Rumored to be the successor to the HypernanoX series, with the same “all-around” features, the Harness still has a lot of new technology and a more mature product positioning than its predecessor. I’ve tried the DX1L before, but as a starter shooter it only utilizes a power hexagonal frame, so I can’t say that I’ve gotten a glimpse of the performance of the series.
This is the first of the Harness series in the true sense of the word: the Harness 7K, which, as mentioned, has a more mature product positioning, and the 7K is clearly oriented towards control + offense.
Parameters: 4UG5, go to the bottom of the full with a total weight of 88.8g, balance point 302mm, 6.8mm Baillou carbon center bar length 210mm, tuning on the hard side, power hexagonal frame, 9-3 point line slot, pulling line 26lbs vbs68.
In the appearance of a very calm, dark gray tone with orange-based striped stickers, not difficult to see, but its cheap feeling is also really let a person a little out of the drama, at least this is a high-end shoot ah. At the same time, the quality of the paint can not be satisfied, especially the head of the broken wind, the author’s hand beat with a year, it is said to be caused by playing the head of the ball, potholes …… However, the frame is worth talking about, the T-head of the traditional box box, the gradual transition to the head of the beat is more sharp broken wind, a little bit like the hx900 of the three-in-one beat frame but the transition is more Natural, the two wings are not the Kenshin structure of the Godspeed series, I believe that this will bring 7k more stable ball experience.
Swinging on the hand, the feeling of head weight will be more obvious, but the weight of 4u and the head of the racket to break the wind processing effect is very obvious, swinging speed can definitely be competent for doubles. The racket is more comfortable to swing, and the overall strength of the racket is stronger when swinging, and the deformation is not big.
Hands on the long ball to familiarize themselves with the racket is not difficult to find the same 76-hole line bed, harness 7k sweet spot in all the tried and tested racket belongs to a very good class, hit the ball feedback is clear, the feeling of power is quite good to find. Though the center is a bit stiffer, the racket still lends itself well to the head weight, making it a bit difficult to get started, but not too much. The dynamic-hex frame works well, reducing wind resistance while giving the racket really good shot stability and allowing for good spotting.
If the user has a good explosive power, then he or she will love the feel of the Harness 7k when it comes to pumping and killing the ball. Indeed, the racket as a whole is all on the stiff side and has a certain threshold of getting started, which may be a bit wooden for players who can’t hit it, but the pyrofil on the center stick and the k in the name’s suffix are telling you that this is a tough player. Combined with the inward spin launch, the center stick explodes quite nicely with power and speed out of the ball. The pronounced head weight also facilitates downward pressure, which helps with push-flutter seals at the net.
But there are some drawbacks that come with it, and flexibility is one of them. The high balance point makes the racket speed a bit disadvantageous, especially in the fierce flat blocking and when the opponent is hit by the chase body, there will be a situation that you can realize the opponent’s return line but see the racket is a little short of catching the ball. For passive picks and kills, the stiffer mid-range makes the integrity of the swing a challenge, making it relatively difficult to get in position or causing the arc to be too low to be intercepted.
Since it is a full range racket, we have to examine its ability to control the ball. Although I am not good at the fine operation of the hands, but still try to insist on grabbing the rub during the trial period, due to the clear and stable feel of the small balls in front of the net can quickly adapt to the corrective action of the error. The backcourt slice and slice slider also has a larger racket surface and sweetspot, which gives it a relatively wide margin for error. However, in my opinion, I’m still not as confident in controlling small balls with the 7k’s dryer outgoing shots than with the Bow/Double Edge 7 and other racquets that are known for their ball control and balance. In fact, for me to control the mobilization of the other side does not necessarily need to use such a fine tactical movements, in fact, fast push pick and unexpected flat high ball suppression is harness 7k in my hands to the other side to create passive means of the highest success rate.
It is said that the Harness 7k once had a cabbage price, that would indeed be fragrant, but also caused a sales decline due to the current price increase because it does not meet the consumer’s expectations of the price point, I do not know how the current sales. The racket’s lacquer water is very average, but the hitting feeling is good, there is a certain threshold of use, the shadow of hx800/hx900/hx900x. If the harness series focuses on all-around, then the 7k is really quite balanced, with the speed aspect lagging a bit behind and the offensive part more prominent. Personally, I’m a simple player, and I’m used to putting a lot of power into my shots, so the 7k’s stiffer and heavier attributes make it a bit more energy-intensive in my hands, and I’m reserving my opinion on whether or not I can touch the fish with this racket.
Usually used to sugar water racket players, want to advance a comprehensive racket and they like to kill the ball and the ability to be confident (there are many people), may wish to try, the current price ring than the three major products with the same positioning has a slight advantage.
