Great deal, though I started waving my arms uncontrollably to distract my opponents when I demo-ed it.

It's called proper technique. Learn it and you might be able to handle the racquet.

Only 1/4 L2 left, yeah. But maybe with its slightly lighter weight, perfect for a leather grip and/or build up grip sleeve.

Isn't this a bit stiff at 71 flex rating for a racket this light?

The TW reviewers mostly found it adequately comfortable despite the stiffness.

It's been a loooong while since I bought a racquet, but it used to be you wanted the stiffest frame possible for more power. Did we pass the inflection point where there's a too stiff?

Also Tecnifibre was related to ProKennex which was a good but second tier brand. Has this changed too?

RA= 71. Too stiff for most people and will hurt your arm; don't do this. Unless you workout frequently, get something below RA-64.

Racquets got so powerful, players used low-powered poly for more control and spin, and realized they had to give on stiffness in the frame.

Tecnifibre has elevated its brand globally with Swiatek and Medvedev, and its squash stars. Lacoste as owner has been good. ProKennex continues on its uninspiring way, with old racquet tech, no sponsorship and hopping on the pickleball wagon.
