Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Air takes 5 of the six, the Osorno takes power.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Osorno's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Air's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Osorno, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
About the same weight: 360 g and 360 to 370 g.
No edge either way
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
