Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Slam takes 2 of the six, the Vibe takes control and sweet spot and comfort and handling.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face and weight change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Fibreglass on the Vibe, not listed on the Slam.
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 Slam is about 350 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Vibe puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Slam, 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.
