The power flagship of the Hunter range: a head-heavy teardrop shape with hard 12K carbon and dense EVA Core Foam++. ZERV is a Danish value-for-money brand without a broad body of independent tests, but on paper it stands comparison with established power rackets in the mid-price segment.
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 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 hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 8 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 3.7 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 96% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the Zerv Hunter in our comparison, this is the heaviest (365 g) and also the most expensive (€80.75). Right now only PadelXpert stocks this model, at €80.75 – out of 21 shops in our comparison.

Last updated: November 2026 · How we rate
Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 3.7 out of 10 – demanding, needs clean technique.
The Zerv Hunter Pro 2.0 weighs 365 g and has a teardrop shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a hard core (EVA Core Foam++). The frame is made of Carbon 12K.
Not by our rule: the core is hard, the balance is head-heavy, 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
