Directional control from a head shape that still carries weight: placement leads the character, the feel stays consistent and dependable for technical, placement-based play, and the frame is forgiving and arm-friendly across extended sessions. Overhead pace must come from technique and positioning — big hitters and anyone developing an aggressive overhead game should buy a dedicated power frame.
