Teardrop

Best for beginners and casual club players who want forgiveness and comfort over power or spin.
Beginners and casual club players who want a racket that does the work for them get a light, soft teardrop with a wide, forgiving hitting area and quick hands at the net. The trade-off is a modest power ceiling and a smooth face that gives little spin, so improving players will outgrow it.
Modest by design. The soft foam returns plenty of ball exit on easy swings, but a full-speed smash hits a ceiling because the core soaks up part of the energy.
Reliable at moderate pace, with depth on blocks and defensive lobs. Under heavy pace or a rushed swing the soft response loses directional precision.
A real strength. The racket turns over fast for reflex volleys and late bandejas, and its contained balance keeps the wrist fresh in long exchanges.
Large and forgiving. Balls struck off-centre still carry deep, though on hard off-centre volleys the head can twist a little.
Soft and muted at impact. The fiberglass face and foam core filter out vibration well, which suits players with a sensitive elbow or wrist.
