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.
