Our scores, updated 14 September 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Galactica takes 4 of the six, the Beat takes power, and value is level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Weight and balance change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
The same face on both: fibreglass. Fibreglass is softer than carbon and forgives more; it suits players still building their swing.
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 Beat is about 365 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Galactica 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.
