The verdict
The Explorer Pro Attack 1.5 fixes the original Explorer's main complaint: the 360 g teardrop replaces the 385 g slab, and suddenly the beginner label fits the whole frame. Power 76 keeps enough pace to reward improvement, control 70 and tolerance 70 stay patient with learning-stage contact, and comfort 70 with maneuverability 72 makes long learning sessions pleasant. Value 76 is honest entry money. For genuinely new players, this is the Explorer to buy: same teaching temperament, none of the mass penalty. The 1.0 suits only the sturdiest newcomers.
This fixes the original Explorer's biggest complaint: a genuinely lighter build finally matches the beginner label on the box. Power keeps enough real pace to reward improvement as you develop, and terms across control and tolerance stay patient with learning-stage contact. It's honest first-frame money. Athletic improvers with fast progress will outgrow it within a season, and face material isn't documented — keen beginners might consider sizing up to the Axion 1.5 instead.
