✦Our expert analysis of this blade's performance characteristics
Persson Power Allround offers a solid speed rating suitable for aggressive allround play. While not a pure offensive blade, it provides enough pace for effective attacking strokes, especially when paired with faster rubbers. Our testing shows it offers a good base speed that can be modulated by rubber choice.
Control is a standout feature of this blade. Players report having 'perfect ball control' and finding it 'very forgiving.' This makes it an excellent choice for players who prioritize placement and consistency, allowing for precise execution of all strokes.
Persson Power Allround offers a responsive and reassuring feel. Players describe it as having a 'lovely handle' and feeling 'alive in the hand.' It provides good ball feedback, allowing players to sense contact, which aids in control and spin development.
The combination of wood plies and its overall construction produces a medium-high throw angle. This is typical for allround blades and facilitates spin-heavy shots like looping topspins, helping players generate good arc and safety over the net.
The 5-ply all-wood construction provides excellent dwell time, allowing the ball to sink into the rubber and blade surface. This is beneficial for generating spin on serves and topspins and contributes significantly to the blade's controlled, forgiving nature.
Persson Power Allround strikes a balance with medium flexibility. It's flexible enough to support topspin and pocket the ball for spin generation, yet maintains enough stiffness for effective blocking and direct drives.
This blade exhibits a medium to low vibration level, contributing to its controlled and comfortable feel. Some players note a slight vibration during very hard blocks, but it's generally not considered a significant issue and adds to the overall feedback.
Persson Power Allround is generally regarded as a high-quality blade, especially considering its accessible price. It is built with a solid 5-ply construction that offers good durability and a consistent feel.
