Who it suits

For the builder

What you want is control and a large sweet spot: round or teardrop, balanced weight, soft to medium core. That places the ball reliably and keeps your error count low.

For the counter player

What you want is manoeuvrability in defence: round shape, handle-heavy balance, soft core. The racket stays easy to swing when you are late to the ball and forgives off-centre contact.

More about this player type

What the values mean

  • Round: The largest sweet spot, forgiving on off-centre contact, but less power on the finish.
  • Balanced: Balanced — neutral behaviour without a bias in either direction.
  • Soft: A soft core: comfortable and forgiving, with less direct pace.

What to watch out for

  • Round and soft means control rather than power: if you want to end points hard, you will find less of it here.

Why is there no price here?

From the product data of the shops we are affiliated with. It is refreshed once a day, and every price is shown with the date it was read. While no partner shop lists a model, we name its price bracket rather than a number that is wrong.
