The Oliver Apex 500, 125 grams and slightly head-light according to Oliver.
Even though it shares the Apex name, it’s a different head shape from the Oliver Apex 700, Simon Rosner’s new racket.

Reviews
I tested out this racket, and here’s my review. It’s a nice racket but I did have some trouble adjusting to it.

Bought this racket a few months back, it’s full of power. Only downside is that the frame is slightly fragile, but Oliver has a good warranty policy. Would recommend this racket for anyone looking to up their power game.

I’m looking at picking this racket up right now but am worried about some of the fragile reviews of it… how good *is* their warranty policy?

Ben, “slightly fragile” makes me ask have you eventually cracked this frame?
