Our verdict
Beginners building reliable rallies get a forgiving control racket that makes defence and placement easier. The Impulse CTRL puts consistency ahead of finishing power, with responsive handling and a broad hitting area. It suits a first adult racket, though players who already attack confidently may soon want more pace.

How it plays
Power
Power score5.7
Limited finishing pace is the main compromise. Reviews disagree on the degree, ranging from weak to adequate, but all favour placement over heavy smashes.
Control
Control score8.7
Reliable placement is a strong point. Short defensive swings and measured volleys help keep rallies organised while a new player develops timing.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score8.7
Quick preparation helps at the net. Reviews rate handling highly, although the 360 to 370 g frame can still feel substantial over a long match for smaller players.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score8.8
A generous central hitting area makes imperfect contact easier to manage. Slightly misplaced volleys and defensive shots retain useful direction.
Feel
Impact feels forgiving rather than harsh. The soft core helps absorb pace, although one review describes a firmer feel than the others.
