Black Crown Special Max wins by 13 points
Black Crown Special Max scores 84/100 against 71/100 for the Black Crown Crown Rebel. Its biggest edge is control (+21).
“The Rebel is Crown's budget attacker: a head-light 370 g build with an EVA Performance core and fibreglass face producing power 73 with fair terms (comfort 68, tolerance 68) and honest handling (69). Value 82 is the small brand's loudest arithmetic. The head-light tune plus soft-ish core makes the keenness genuinely accessible, which is the whole pitch: improver violence at benchmark-bothering money. The badge-confusion flag and thin-support asterisk ride along as ever. For calculator-minded improvers, the Rebel earns its bench spot.”
“The Special Max is Black Crown's quiet achiever: a Black EVA core and 18K carbon face, specs from the attacking aisle, tuned into a control frame. Control 86 puts lobs and blocks precisely where the point needs them, comfort 76 and tolerance 75 forgive both arms and errors, and the 18K face adds a crispness most control frames lack. Power 74 attacks selectively. Value 78 rounds out one of the better sub-flagship cards we have scored. For intermediates who win with patience but appreciate premium materials, the Special Max is a genuine find from the boutique shelf.”
