The Stima Energy is Babolat's featherweight peacemaker: 345 g, among the lightest frames we score, with an EVA core tuned so control 82, comfort 78 and tolerance 79 make every session gentle. Maneuverability 80 is the standout: the frame is simply always ready. Power 68 is the transparent cost. Value 78 keeps the arithmetic kind too. This is the racket for players recovering from injury, managing a shoulder or elbow, stepping up from beginner gear, or anyone who values never being late over ever hitting hard. Within that brief it is close to faultless; outside it, predictably outgunned.
Compare this racket
Five direct comparisons — the closest frames in its own line, the rivals it competes with, and this season's stand-out.
The gentle, always-on-time choice
Babolat's featherweight peacemaker is built entirely around kindness: comfort and tolerance are both genuinely gentle, maneuverability means you're simply never late to the ball, and structural quality feels real despite the light build. It's a legitimate choice for players prioritising longevity over aggression, including anyone managing arm issues. Power is deliberately outgunned by the design, and against heavy incoming pace the light frame does yield — improving hitters with growing power will likely outgrow it fast.
