Joma Slam Pro Ionic White/Gold

The Joma Slam Pro Ionic is a mid-range diamond-shaped racket aimed at intermediate players seeking a power-oriented option at an accessible price, but it lacks the refined feel and consistency of comparable offerings from Babolat, Head, or Bullpadel in the same bracket. On court it delivers decent pace on smashes but feels somewhat stiff and unforgiving on off-centre hits, making placement and net play feel uncertain. Club players transitioning from beginner gear may find it serviceable, but those with a budget for better alternatives should look elsewhere.

Starvie Raptor +

The Starvie Raptor + 2026 is an even-balance teardrop at intermediate level with a medium-EVA core, offering a well-matched profile of power at 78 and control at 77. This is an all-court frame for intermediate players who want to build and finish points. Maneuverability at 72 is adequate. Comfort at 71 and tolerance at 70 are workable. PRR score: 82/100.
