Adidas Arrow Hit Carbon

The standard Arrow Hit Carbon keeps the full round shape, even balance and structural stability tech of the line at the standard (non-Light) weight, giving a touch more power than the Light signature version. PRR score: 81/100.

Babolat Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0

The Viper Soft Juan Lebrón 3.0 takes the same 365g Black EVA formula that already works on the Technical Viper Soft and wraps it in Juan Lebrón's signature diamond shell. Power eases back from the standard Viper JL's tour-level peak to a still-strong 82, and in exchange control and comfort both climb into the high 70s/80s — a genuinely balanced racket rather than a compromise. Maneuverability improves too, so the head-heavy diamond feels less punishing to hustle at net. The catch is coverage: it is stocked at a single retailer so far, and priced at parity with the far more aggressive standard Viper JL, so this is not the discount play the Technical Soft is.
