Our verdict
The Vertex 04 Ltd Ed Juan Tello is a raw power cannon built around a high-density EVA core and aggressive diamond shape that rewards precise, technically confident smashes with explosive pace off the back wall. The head-heavy balance makes it sluggish in fast exchanges and bandeja situations, and off-centre hits transmit noticeable vibration up the arm — this is a racket that demands you find the sweet spot or pay for it. Advanced players with a dominant attacking game and strong wrist conditioning who want to punish weak lobs will love it; those still developing positioning or prone to elbow issues should look elsewhere.
