Best for intermediate attackers who want Hack power with a softer, arm-friendly feel and a bit of extra forgiveness.
A softer, arm-friendly take on the Hack for intermediate and advancing players who like to attack. It keeps the diamond outline and a slightly top-heavy feel, so overheads and bandejas come easily, while the Fibrix face and multi-density EVA core take the sting out of every contact. Compared with the regular Hack 04 you give up some finishing punch and crispness.
Good, easy power rather than headline pace. Ball exit is lively even when you are stretched in defense, but on full-power smashes imperfect contact can send the ball long or short, and it lacks the sharp finish of a stiff carbon racket.
Good for everyday placement without being surgical. The softer feel suits blocks and steady rallies, but players who want a very precise, dense touch will find firmer rackets in the same family sharper.
It swings faster than the Hack name suggests. That helps in quick hand exchanges at the net, and repeated volleys do not tire the arm.
Specs come from the maker and the reviews we read, and makers revise them between batches. If a weight, balance or material is off, tell us and we will fix the racket page.
Suggest a correctionDecent but not huge. You still need to set your feet and time the ball, and off-centre hits are forgiven a little more than on the standard Hack, though not by a wide margin.
The standout trait. The Fibrix face and multi-density core take the sting out of every contact, so it is easy on the arm and a racket you can play several times a week. The trade is a softer, less crisp feel.
