Our scores, updated 11 June 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Vibor-A takes 1 of the six, the Gladius 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.
24K packs 24,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 18,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Gladius's 18K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Vibor-A, 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.
The Vibor-A is about 362 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Gladius puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Vibor-A, 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.
