Best for beginners and defensive players who want comfort and control; skip it if you want power.
A calm, forgiving round racket for newer players and steady club regulars who want to keep the ball in play. Control and comfort define it: the big sweet spot and soft core make it easy and gentle to use, while attacking pace is modest. Opinion splits on level, from intermediate defenders to a first serious racket an improving attacker may outgrow. At around 80 euros it is a low-risk buy.
Modest rather than headline. Smashes and overheads depend on your own timing and swing speed, and a passive contact can leave the ball landing short. Points are built with placement, not finished by the racket.
This is where the racket is strongest. Blocks, lobs and defensive resets leave the face cleanly and go where you aim them, and the bandeja and vibora are easy to shape without over-hitting.
Quick and easy to move, helped by a low balance that keeps it nimble at the net and in defensive scrambles. Listings describe the balance as either low or head-light, so treat that detail with care.
Large and forgiving, which suits a round head. Off-centre and late contacts stay playable instead of breaking down, so you can think about placement rather than survival.
Soft and muted at impact, with little shock reaching the hand, so long sessions are gentle on the arm. The trade-off is feedback that is gentler than crisp, which players who like a lively feel may miss. Listings call the face either fibreglass or carbon.
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.
