Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The King takes 1 of the six, the Crown takes control and sweet spot and comfort and handling and value.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face and weight change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon 18K on the Crown, not listed on the King.
No edge either way
* 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.
The Crown is about 12 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The King puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Crown, for quick hands
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.
