Black Crowniton 12

“The Black Crown Niton 12 2024 is a power-oriented round racket that punches above its mid-tier price point with a lively EVA core that rewards flat drives and aggressive finishing shots. Its even balance and round shape give it more forgiveness than a typical diamond power frame, making it accessible to advanced players who want pace without sacrificing too much feel. Players transitioning from intermediate to advanced who prioritize a punchier, arm-friendly option over elite precision will find it a solid, honest performer.”

Black Crowniton Epic

“The Niton Epic 2025 is Black Crown's volume attacker: a Black EVA core under a 12K face producing power 83 with the boutique brand's characteristic dense, pleasing strike. Control 70 keeps the demands real, comfort 66 and tolerance 65 hold the firm-but-standard line, and maneuverability 68 wants some anticipation. Value 76 is honest. Positioned below the Piton line, the Niton offers most of the family's intent at friendlier money, which makes it the natural first Black Crown for improving attackers. The boutique path costs a little extra everywhere; here it costs least.”
