Head Bolt (2026)

Modest at the top end. The foam core gives useful depth from short, compact swings, but a full-speed smash lacks weight and you supply most of the pace yourself.

Reliable for deep placement, blocks and defensive lobs at club tempo. Against hard incoming volleys the soft face feels vague and passive blocks can sit up.

Quick and easy to move for an adult racket. The neutral balance helps transitions from the baseline to the net and late adjustments on balls at the body.

Broad and forgiving, especially on defensive blocks and off-centre volleys. Hard lateral hits still twist the soft face, so precision drops once the rally speeds up.

Soft and elastic at impact. The fiberglass face and foam damp vibration well over long sessions, though the muted feedback can feel vague for sharper players.
