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.

Nox At10 Genius 18K Alum By Agustin Tapia

Tapia's AT10 Genius 18K Alum is the rare frame that hits like an attacker's racket but doesn't fall apart when you defend. The 18K carbon face over a black EVA core gives a dense, springy strike: drives carry pace (power 88), yet the teardrop shape and even balance keep the head obedient on bandejas and blocks (control 84). It sits at the top of our table because it asks fewer sacrifices than a pure diamond. The compromises are familiar: comfort 70 means the stiffness reaches your elbow eventually, and tolerance 68 still wants near-middle contact.
