An elongated drive machine. The extra reach and plow-through win baseline exchanges, but you pay for it every time you have to reset a fast hands battle.

A head-loaded offensive option with listed swing weight 122 ±3 despite a 7.93 oz average static weight. XPOP is designed for lively rebound; soft resets require touch. Estimated DNA is not proof of a measured power or spin win over Spitfire.
