Our scores, updated 6 July 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Vk10 takes 4 of the six, the Carb-on takes power and value.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Only the face changes between them; the rest is the same racket. Pick one to look closer.
12K packs 12,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 6,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Carb-on's 6K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Vk10, 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 same weight, 360 to 375 g.
No edge either way
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.
About the same price: €126 and €125.
