Our scores, updated 9 November 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Curve takes 1 of the six, the Equation takes control and sweet spot and comfort and handling and value.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon 3K on the Equation, not listed on the Curve.
No edge either way
* 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 Curve is about 10 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Equation puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Curve, 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.
