Black Crowniton Epic Energy

The Niton Epic Energy is the entry-line version of Black Crown's Epic recipe: a Black EVA core under a 3K face producing the same power 83 as its Piton-badged siblings, with identical terms (control 70, comfort 66, tolerance 65). Weight documentation is incomplete. Value 76 matches the family standard. The honest position: Black Crown's Epic-generation frames are one racket in several outfits, and the Niton badge is usually the cheapest outfit. For improving attackers drawn to the boutique strike, find the lowest-priced Epic in stock, confirm the face spec in hand, and buy that one.

Nox At10 Genius 12K Alum Xtrem By Agustin Tapia

The 12K Alum Xtrem is the AT10 for players who want Tapia's attacking DNA with a slightly softer entry point. The 12K carbon face reads a touch more forgiving than the 18K on off-pace contact, while the teardrop shape and even balance keep the frame honest through bandejas and transitions. Power 88 finishes points; control 80 keeps the rest of your game intact. Comfort 68 and tolerance 67 are the familiar tax on a frame this capable. At value 78 it undercuts the flagship while giving away very little, which makes it the sensible pick in the range.
