On court – The cons
As with the majority of frames with unique features, the marked advantages are, on the opposite side, limits in terms of use.
The Donnay Formula 100 is a frame with which one can travel at medium-high speeds without effort, but like all touring cars, it has limits if one wants to take it on the track.
The response of the frame, so markedly flexible, guarantees a high feeling, but it is not the ideal choice for those who love to hit hard from the baseline with very heavy spin. It is a polite, sensitive frame that also allows itself to be mistreated but its character is more elegant and aimed at those who like to vary and play in a technical way rather than pulling punches from all over the court.
The power of the racket is good. One can easily reach considerable levels of depth and speed, but above a certain limit one can feel the limits in terms of impact strength and torsional stability, as also highlighted by the TwW of 15kgcm2.
For those who are competitive and are looking for a soft rockiness or a solid softness, we could recommend a light custom tool at 305-310g with direct effects in terms of performance at high speeds of the racket, which is so flexible that it reacts best to high stress in the presence of a slightly higher weight and inertia.
We underline that for fourth or third-category men’s players, as structured the Donnay Formula 100 Hexacore Unibody is a race-ready frame that will absolutely not disappoint in stock version.
