The Gravity Pro provides sufficient power, and spin for serves. Like groundstrokes, it is stable and heavy enough for big hits, and light enough to create your own touch and spin. Spin and slice serves are effective, allowing players stay aggressive on second serves. Whether you choose to serve flat or go for heavy topspin, The Gravity Pro should accommodate your serving game, even if it doesn't provide as much free power as the Pure Drive. But that doesn't matter because of the large spin window, and distinctive feel that this racket provides. Some all court players may be more suited to the specifications of the Yonex V Core Pro 97, but The Head Gravity Pro is a versatile beast to serve with.

The spin is unique for a 18x20 racket and the optimal feel needs to be experienced for yourself.
