Head Vibe Bl/Rd

“The Vibe Bl/Rd 2025 is last season's pressing of Head's gentle teardrop: 350 g, foam-cored, scoring the family's standard 66/70 split with the standard civil terms (71/72) and prompt handling (73). Face documentation is incomplete. Value 74 trails the 2026 editions' pricing, which inverts the usual vintage logic: here the newer colourways are currently the cheaper buy. The Vibe verdict is genuinely colour-blind: one kind, light, dependable club frame in a rotating wardrobe. Buy whichever trim carries the week's best number; presently that is not this one.”

Joma Slam Pro Iconic

“The Slam Pro Iconic scores as Joma's mid-line offer: a balanced 74/69 split with fair terms (comfort 69, tolerance 68) and honest handling (70). Full specification is unconfirmed, so materials, weight and shape go unverified; demo before committing. Value 76 continues the brand's pressure pricing. The recurring Joma verdict needs little editing: credible, sensibly-priced equipment from a badge still earning padel recognition, best bought after a demo and a comparison against the week's Dunlop and Drop Shot prices. The Iconic sits mid-family; the SF editions are kinder, the HRD fiercer.”
