Our impression
Teardrop shape for intermediate and advanced players: unidirectionally reinforced carbon frame with a 3K carbon face over a medium-hard EVA 15 core – a large sweet spot for a mix of power and control, one step more accessible than the Patron Xtrem.
At 360 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 8 and control 7 out of 10, it is geared slightly more towards power than precision – but among head-heavy teardrop rackets it offers a lot of control: 76% of them score lower.
With a forgiveness rating of 5.2 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 73% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. 4 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €120.98 to €252 – a €131 difference for the same model.
