What is different
Face and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
18K packs 18,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 12,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Fenix's 12K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Hack 04, for precision
* 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 same weight, 365 to 375 g.
No edge either way
The same balance point, 265 mm from the end of the handle.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
