Head-to-head on PRR scores, specs, and live prices — independently tested with the same methodology. Updated daily.
Alkemia Tenebris wins by 4 points
Alkemia Tenebris scores 80/100 against 76/100 for the Babolat Air Origin. Its biggest edge is power (+6). The Babolat Air Origin answers back on maneuverability (+2).
“The Alkemia Tenebris 2026 is a head-light control frame at 360 g with an EVA foam core, built for intermediate players who want exceptional directional precision. Control at 84 is the headline, and the head-light balance at 360 g keeps the frame quick to position at the net. Maneuverability at 78 and tolerance at 79 both confirm an accessible, forgiving character. Power at 68 is the honest trade-off. PRR score: 80/100.”
“The Babolat Air Origin is a lightweight, forgiving entry-level racket built around an even balance and EVA foam core that prioritizes comfort and easy handling over outright punch. Its round shape and neutral balance make it genuinely maneuverable at the net and kind to players still developing technique, reducing arm fatigue across long sessions. However, at its price point it faces stiff competition from brands offering more foam density and better build quality, making it a safe but unremarkable choice for true beginners who trust the Babolat name.”
