Our verdict

What we loved

Four things it does better than most.

EVA HR3: proper Nox rubber at entry money

Genuinely kind terms (73/75)

Prompt head-light handling (74)

Control 70 teaches placement

Worth knowing

Three things to know before you buy.

Power 60: patience required

Weight spec unconfirmed: check in hand

Keen attackers look elsewhere

The review

Power 60 states the patient brief plainly. Weight documentation needs checking in hand. Value 76 is fair. The HR3 core is the underrated line: proper Nox rubber in a starter frame, giving a softer, truer strike than the tier's usual foam. For learners who value feel over force, quietly one of the nicer cards here.
