From Joma's Valkiria range, built for maximum control and precision: a round hybrid shape with a lower balance for a large sweet spot and plenty of stability in defence and placement – for players who build patiently and rely on timing.
At 355 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle and easy on the arm, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 4 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 8.5 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 55% of the round models in our comparison. Right now only Smash-Expert stocks this model, at €191.51 – out of 21 shops in our comparison.
