Haruna Ojio is set to play for the Greek champions, Panathinaikos, in the new season. If this is indeed the case, she will be a team-mate of, Katharina Toliou, Ioanna Gerasimatou and Nikoleta Stefanova.
A Hype XT Pro 40.0 isn’t particularly fast. It is fairly soft (though not as soft as a Rakza 7, a Hexer Grip SFX, on the other hand, is a fraction harder than the Hype XT Pro 40), but the Gewo does offer plenty of grip and control.
