Our verdict

The Black Crown Piton 12 2024 is a power-oriented round racket that punches above its price class, delivering solid smash depth and drive pace without the brutality of a diamond shape. Its EVA core and even balance keep it surprisingly arm-friendly for an advanced power frame, making it accessible to strong intermediate players pushing into the top level rather than pure elite competitors. Players who want aggressive baseline hitting and respectable forgiveness in a mid-budget package will find it a compelling buy, though those prioritising surgical net control should look elsewhere.

Compare against a peer racket →
We loved
  • Exceptional power generation with stable energy transfer
  • Round shape provides excellent maneuverability for quick court coverage
  • Responsive EVA-foam core delivers snappy ball response
Worth knowing
  • Control slightly compromised compared to more defensive-oriented alternatives
  • Sweet spot forgiveness is moderate—off-center hits may feel less forgiving than wider oval shapes
