Black Crown Piton 14

The Piton 14 continues Black Crown's long-running Piton line, pairing a 3K carbon face with Low Density Piton Glass technology and an SC Black EVA core for a genuine 50/50 power-control balance. It's built to be reliable and versatile across every phase of the game rather than lean toward either extreme.

Drop Shot Explorer Pro Comfort 2.0 2026 L. Campagnolo

The Drop Shot Explorer Pro Comfort 2.0 is a mid-range recreational racket built around arm-friendliness and accessibility, with a round-to-teardrop shape and softer EVA core that cushions impact well over long sessions. It offers decent touch and forgiveness for beginner-to-intermediate players but lacks the pop, rigidity, and refined feel needed to satisfy advancing players pushing into competitive play. The Campagnolo signature adds little performance distinction, and at its price point it faces stiff competition from more technically accomplished options from Bullpadel, Head, and Wilson in the same segment.
