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.
This leans genuinely into power ambitions for a beginner-oriented teardrop: the EVA-foam core and head-light balance enable quick racket acceleration, and the forgiving sweet spot aids beginner confidence. Control precision lags behind the power-focused design, though, and the core can feel somewhat inconsistent under sustained play — surface information is limited, so durability is worth checking before buying.
