Our scores, updated 11 June 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Curva takes 2 of the six, the 36 takes control and sweet spot and comfort and handling.
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 Curva's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the 36's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Curva, 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.
About the same weight: 350 to 365 g and 355 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.
