Round-up review: our score and verdict are based on published specs and reviews from across the web, not our own play-testing yet.
Weighted for intermediate players but versatile enough for dedicated beginners and recreational players, the Warrior 100 is grouped by reviewers alongside other accessible-performance frames prized for reliable power, comfort and consistency rather than specialist traits.
How it plays
Value is the headline here. A softer beam than most rivals in its price bracket gives an arm-friendly, connected feel without sacrificing directional control, and it’s quick at net for reaction volleys. Full swings bring easy access to both pace and spin, which is unusual at this price point.
What reviewers agree and disagree on
The consistent theme is unusually good value for what the frame offers. The main practical caveats are its weight (300 g unstrung, on the heavy side for absolute beginners) and the basic factory string, which most reviewers suggest replacing before serious use.

Verdict
A genuinely good value frame for club and recreational players. Budget for a restring on top of the purchase price, and check the weight suits you if you’re a true beginner.
