Our impression
The Piton is the relaunch of one of the brand's oldest models and is built accordingly without fuss: round shape, centred balance, a Mid-Soft EVA core between two fibreglass layers and a 3K carbon layer. The frame is 80 percent carbon, and the profile measures 38 millimetres throughout. The surface is smooth rather than roughened – worth knowing if you control the ball mainly through slice. What it delivers is a wide sweet spot and a predictable ball exit; what it doesn't deliver is power of its own.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 5 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.8 out of 10, it is easy-going, even though 61% of the round models in our comparison leave even more margin for error. 9 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €86.50 to €137.49 – a €51 difference for the same model.
Who is the Black Crown Piton for?
Control players and aspiring intermediate players looking for a forgiving round racket for under €100.
