Our verdict
A control-first hybrid for advanced players who build points from the baseline and want quick hands at the net more than free power. It has the shortest balance point in the Vertex 05 family, so it swings through compact motions with ease and rewards clean preparation and placement. You supply the pace on overheads, so hitters who live on the bandeja-to-smash route should look at a more head-heavy Vertex.

How it plays
Power
Power score7.7
Modest rather than headline: smashes and hard volleys get little help from the frame, so you supply the pace yourself. Late contacts do not gain depth on their own, and anyone who wants a heavy, dry finish will find it a little too civilized.
Control
Control score9.1
Control is the clear strength. Blocks, low volleys and defensive lobs go where you aim them, the medium response sends the ball deep without a big swing, and direction stays honest when you speed up.
Maneuverability
Maneuverability score8.8
Very quick for a professional-level frame. The head-light balance, about 25 cm, makes reaction blocks, low volleys and fast exchanges at the net easy to play with compact swings.
Sweet spot
Sweet spot score8.1
Generous for a professional-level frame, which helps when the ball arrives off the glass. Clean contact still matters, because this is not a beginner trampoline.
Feel
A medium, composed feel: neither soft nor brutally firm. The carbon face over a layered foam core gives a defined response without the dead, one-note feel of some firmer rackets.
