Our verdict
The Black Crown Niton 13 2025 is a forgiving entry-level round racket built for beginners who need consistency over firepower, with its EVA core and even balance delivering a predictable, arm-friendly feel that won't punish mishits too harshly. However, at 370g it sits on the heavier side for a beginner racket, which can fatigue newer players over longer sessions, and the power output is modest even by introductory standards. Black Crown has stronger offerings at similar price points, making this a decent but unremarkable choice for absolute starters who prioritize durability and stability over any standout performance trait.
