What is different
Face and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
24K packs 24,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 3,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The 9.0's 3K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Pro Attack 2.0, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
