The verdict

The Akkeron Black Excelsior Pro 25 is a beginner-oriented teardrop that leans into power ambitions but delivers a somewhat inconsistent, hollow feel that exposes its entry-level construction under sustained play. The head-light balance aids maneuverability and keeps rallies manageable for newer players, but the EVA core lacks the refined responsiveness of better-tuned competitors at this price tier, making placement and touch at the net feel vague. Budget-conscious beginners seeking a first racket will find it functional, but players with any developing sense of feel will quickly outgrow it and may find better value elsewhere in the sub-€100 market.

What we loved
Exceptional power generation from EVA-foam core
Head-light balance enables quick racket acceleration
Forgiving sweet spot aids beginner confidence
Worth knowing
Control precision lags behind power-focused design
EVA-foam lacks the stability some intermediate players seek
Limited technical surface information suggests potential durability concerns
