About this core

A EVA soft core. 44% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

Power 64 suits the developmental brief. Value 82 respects the economics. Every box is ticked with margin: correct swings, survivable mistakes, replaceable price, premium-brand construction. For developing juniors, this is arguably the segment's benchmark buy; the tour-name juniors compete on motivation, not on numbers.

Highlights

Top 3% for handling, and in the bottom tenth for power.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 11% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
