I picked up the Hype X Lite because I wanted something easier on my shoulder, and it really delivers. At 6.75-7.25 oz it stays light through long sessions, so my arm doesn't tire out and I can react faster at the net. The 16.5" x 7.5" elongated shape gives a wider hitting surface and the larger sweet spot is forgiving on off-center hits.
