The review

The Maxx Hype Gen 2 keeps Mike Yanguas' recipe: a diamond head, a head-heavy balance at 360 to 375 g and LÕK's C18 carbon face over an EVA rubber core, with a 3D relief surface for spin.

It is built to end points from the overhead, and the weight sits where a full swing can use it. The cost is the familiar one for the shape: a small sweet spot, a firm strike and slow hands in fast exchanges at the net.

Highlights

Top 7% for power, and in the bottom tenth for comfort.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 79% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
