Our scores, updated 9 November 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Motion takes 5 of the six, and value is level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Weight, balance and price 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 Junior is about 35 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Motion puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Junior, for quick hands
Where each one balances, measured from the end of the handle. The lower the point, the more of the weight sits in your hand: the Junior at 255 mm, the Motion at 270 mm.
Edge: the Junior, for your arm
* 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.
