About this core

A EVA Pro High Density core. 15% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

It offers decent touch and forgiveness for beginner-to-intermediate players but lacks the pop, rigidity, and refined feel needed to satisfy advancing players pushing into competitive play. The Campagnolo signature adds little performance distinction, and at its price point it faces stiff competition from more technically accomplished options from Bullpadel, Head, and Wilson in the same segment.

Highlights

Top 30% for comfort, and in the bottom tenth for value.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 25% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
