Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The R30 takes 3 of the six, the Arenal takes power and handling and value.
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.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Arenal's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the R30's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Arenal, for precision
* 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 Arenal is about 15 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The R30 puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Arenal, 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.
