Our scores, updated 11 June 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Classic takes 3 of the six, the Beat takes handling and value, and sweet spot is level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Classic's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Beat's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Classic, 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 Beat is about 350 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Classic puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Beat, for quick hands
The balance point is not listed for both.
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.
