Our verdict
The Black Crown Niton Soft 2025 is defined by its surprisingly forgiving EVA core and head-light balance, which together produce a smooth, arm-friendly feel that punishes neither off-centre hits nor extended play sessions. Round-shaped advanced rackets rarely excel at raw power, and this is no exception — it trades smash pace for reliable touch and consistent placement from mid-court. Players returning from injury or those stepping up from intermediate who prioritise comfort and control over aggressive finishing will find it a trustworthy companion, though the price-to-performance ratio sits only marginally above average in a competitive market segment.
