Best for advanced all-court players who want controlled attack and quick hands, with a firm feel that needs clean technique.
A firm, carbon-faced hybrid for advanced and high-intermediate all-court players who attack from the net but still need a dependable defensive game. Power and control are well balanced, and a moderate 3D texture adds spin without an aggressive surface. It rewards clean contact and a committed swing. Skip it if you want maximum smash pace or a very forgiving, soft racket.
Strong, but not the most explosive Hack. The overhead still carries real weight when you are on time, though it gives up a little top-end smash speed to the standard Hack 04 and needs a committed swing to come alive.
Controlled for a racket this lively. Blocks, volleys and bandejas come out composed and easy to place, although soft touches can fly deeper than intended, so lower-level players may find the ball launches too easily.
Quick in the hand. Handling is fast in transitions and hand battles at the net, which helps when you have to adjust late or redirect pace.
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 correctionWide enough to cover ordinary imperfect contact, especially in defense, and more tolerant than the standard Hack. Full-power smashes still want a centred strike, and off-centre hits can feel a little dry.
Medium to medium-hard rather than plush, and only average on the arm. The multi-density foam core takes some sting out of impact, but anyone with a sensitive elbow should try it first.
