“The Black Crown Niton 2025 is a straightforward beginner round racket built around forgiving EVA foam and a head-light balance that keeps the wrist nimble during rallies, but it lacks the refinement and punch that would make it stand out in a crowded entry-level market.”

Our verdict
The Black Crown Niton 2025 is a straightforward beginner round racket built around forgiving EVA foam and a head-light balance that keeps the wrist nimble during rallies, but it lacks the refinement and punch that would make it stand out in a crowded entry-level market. The round shape and soft core deliver decent control and a reasonably large sweet spot, making it accessible for players still developing consistent technique and footwork. At its price point it faces stiff competition from Nox and Head beginner lines that offer comparable or better build quality, so it suits casual newcomers who want the Black Crown badge rather than buyers prioritising pure performance per euro.
Power comes with surprisingly little effort here: the head-light balance keeps reactions quick and the swing effortless, and the sweet spot is genuinely forgiving for players still building confidence and technique. It's an approachable frame to grow into rather than one that punishes early mistakes. Control and net finesse both lag the mid-range competition, so placement takes more deliberate effort, and the foam core may soften with heavy, sustained use over time.
