What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
24K packs 24,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 3,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Slam's 3K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Prime, 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.
About the same weight: 350 to 370 g and 350 to 360 g.
No edge either way
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.

Players who own a racket tell us how it plays. It is their word: it is not a review and does not count towards Our score.
No player has told us about the Prime or the Slam yet. If you own one, two minutes drawing your shape puts your word here, beside the other players who own it.
