Black Crown Special Max wins by 6 points
Black Crown Special Max scores 84/100 against 78/100 for the Black Crown Hurricane 2.0. Its biggest edge is control (+16). The Black Crown Hurricane 2.0 answers back on power (+6).
“The Hurricane 2.0 from 2023 is Black Crown's aged mid-tier attacker, and it has aged into a deal: a 360 g even-balanced EVA build scoring power 80 with fair terms (comfort 69, tolerance 68) and honest handling (71), at value 77 on vintage pricing. Face documentation is incomplete on remaining stock. Control 70 is workable. The card holds up completely against current mid-market attackers costing meaningfully more, which is the whole review: the boutique strike, the survivable terms, the shrinking invoice. Improving attackers shopping the clearance shelf should look here early.”
“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.”
