What players say
Reviewers agree the Ultra Pro 18x20 v4 is a control-first player's frame with excellent feel and touch, built for advanced players who generate their own pace. The tradeoff most cited is a low stock swingweight that leaves it short on stability and plow-through against bigger hitters, pushing many testers toward customization with added mass.
Best for
- Advanced players with full swings
- Net play and touch shots
- Players who like to customize weight/balance
- Precision over raw power
Pros
- Outstanding control and shot placement, especially on groundstrokes
- Comfortable, connected feel with strong ball feedback off the 18x20 pattern
- Very maneuverable, which helps at net and on serve
- Easy to accelerate through the ball for flat, accurate serves
Cons
- Low stock swingweight leaves it short on stability and plow-through vs. bigger hitters
- Minimal inherent power, described as a 'mirror more than an amplifier'
- Compact sweet spot punishes mishits
- Less spin and ball speed than the 16x19 Ultra Pro version

The launch off the stringbed was loaded with control.
— Mark, Tennis Warehouse playtester (5.0 counterpuncher), Web
all contributed to me being able to easily aim my groundstrokes deep and toward small areas of the court.

I loved going for a big flat first serve because this racquet was really easy to maneuver

There's an 18x20 model that's even more precise, but not quite as proficient in terms of producing ball speed and spin.
