Build and technology

Shape, weight and material decide how a racket plays. Here's what the specs mean and which ones suit your game.

Quick comparison by player type

Player type Shape Weight Surface Balance Style
Beginner Round 340–355 g Fibreglass Handle-heavy Control

Attacking Diamond from 368 g 12K–18K carbon Head-heavy Power

The shape

Diamond, teardrop and round shapes side by side

Power

Diamond

The sweet spot sits high in the head. That allows maximum power, but it demands clean technique and experience. For players who attack from the baseline.

Balanced

Teardrop

The sweet spot sits slightly raised. That gives more pressure on the attack without losing control. For players who play regularly and want to get better.

Control

Round

A large, central sweet spot. Forgiving and easy to play. The way in for beginners and for anyone who puts control ahead of raw power.

Weight and balance

Three rackets with different weight distribution

340 to 360 g

A light racket. Fast and responsive, easy on the arm and shoulder. Ideal for beginners and for players who spend a lot of time at the net.

From 360 g

A heavy racket. More hitting power and pressure, but it asks for clean technique and a certain level of fitness.

Handle-heavy

Quicker to manoeuvre, less strain on the arm. Ideal for beginners and for fast, reactive play.

Head-heavy

Amplifies the swing and generates more pressure. For experienced players with strong hitting arms who want to turn their swing into speed.

The material

Beginner

Fibreglass

Soft, flexible, forgiving. Damps vibration well and feels natural. For beginners who put control ahead of power.

Intermediate

Carbon

Hard, precise, explosive. Direct feedback and more power. The higher the carbon density, the stiffer and more direct the feel.

Soft

EVA Soft

A soft core, damps vibration, maximum control. For beginners and for control-led play with a gentle feel on the ball.

Medium to hard

EVA Hard

A firm core, more power and direct feedback. It asks for clean technique and gives you a response on every shot.

Carbon density compared

Higher density means more stiffness, precision and power.

VIBRADRIVE

Our damping technology noticeably reduces vibration at the handle. You feel it most on balls you don't catch cleanly, and across a long session.
