Our verdict
The Piton 13 is Black Crown's current balanced flagship: a 370 g EVA build with a 3K face scoring a dead-even 76/76 power-control split, with comfort 72 and tolerance 72 continuing the even-handedness and maneuverability 74 keeping it punctual. The strike carries the house's pleasing density. Value 78 is honest for boutique construction. This is the Piton for complete games: it attacks when asked, absorbs when needed, and never embarrasses you either way. Advanced all-courters drawn to the boutique path will find it the most sensible door in. The Attack versions serve the specialists.
Prices updated automatically. UK/USA stores show their own price first with the EUR equivalent in brackets for comparison (indicative rate); you pay the store's price and they ship to that region only. Some links are affiliate links — we earn a small commission at no cost to you.
A proper all-court frame: it attacks when asked, defends without drama, and the boutique build quality feels worth the money. No extreme talents — if you want outright violence, the Piton Attack is the harder-hitting sibling — but for complete games that build points from both ends, this is the version we'd point people at. Availability varies by region, so grab one when you see it.
