Product Notes
This is a teardrop-shaped racket that comes with the Head Adaptive Fan pattern, which means you can string it in the traditional way (vertically) or in a fan stringing pattern (as in the picture above).
In their product listing, Control the T says:
New to the line is the Adaptive Fan Pattern stringing option. The racquet comes strung with a 12/17 stringing pattern but for those looking for a bit more control you can restring with a 16/17 stringing pattern.
In the photo above it’s a 16×17 stringing pattern.

Looks like Laura Massaro will be using this racket. She used the prior model as well.

Has anyone used this yet?
I currently have the cyano 120 and really like it but wouldn’t mind upgrading!

Been using it for my main racquet for the past 6 Months or so, and has a great balance of control and power – Like a chunkier string so am using the DNAMX 17, which is the overall best string for me – effortless power. I use an Older Head Graphene Speed Slimbody 135, for my backup – easier to volley with when my arm gets really tired.
The 135 360 has a better vibration dampening, and Stability of Shot.
