“The Piton 13 is Black Crown's current balanced flagship: a 370 g EVA build with a 3K face scoring a dead-even 76/76 power-control split, with comfort 72 and tolerance 72 continuing the even-handedness and maneuverability 74 keeping it punctual. The strike carries the house's pleasing density. Value 78 is honest for boutique construction. This is the Piton for complete games: it attacks when asked, absorbs when needed, and never embarrasses you either way. Advanced all-courters drawn to the boutique path will find it the most sensible door in. The Attack versions serve the specialists.”
“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.”
