What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon 18K on the Special, not listed on the Electra.
No edge either way
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The Electra is about 362 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Special puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Electra, for quick hands
