Watchouts
Double check before buy
- Tmall specification sheet lists grip length and circumference as 143 cm — interpreted as 143 mm grip length and ≈ 110 mm circumference (Storm/Warrior pattern); confirm with hands-on if sizing matters.
- An older Tmall listing title cited a full foam core, but Battle 2.0 marketing imagery brands the core as 888 Core — we use 888 Core per current model imagery.
- Face dimensions (415 × 190 mm) not published on Battle 2.0 specification sheet — only total racket length 42 cm listed.
- USAPA approval unverified — tournament-grade positioning on Tmall does not spell out sanctioning body.
- Listed on Tmall in CNY only; Canadian retail availability unconfirmed.
