“The Piton White is Black Crown's teaching frame: a head-light build in a genuinely useful 355 to 370 g spread, with a medium EVA core and 3K face tuned so control 78, comfort 76 and tolerance 77 do the instructing. Mishits stay in play, sessions stay pleasant, and maneuverability 76 keeps new hands on schedule. Power 70 is deliberately modest. Value 78 is honest. For beginners who want a boutique badge and a frame that teaches placement before pace, the Piton White is one of the more thoughtful entry offers around, with weight options most starter frames never provide.”
“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.”
