PRR Analysis
The best value rackets aren't just cheap — they're genuinely competent. All of the frames in this ranking scored 74+/100 in PRR testing. Most players, most of the time, would be well served by any of them. The sweet spot for value is the €100–€180 range, where brands release last-year's tour tech at a 30–40% markdown. Carbon-fibre faces, multi-layer cores, and precision-moulded frames that were €280 a year ago now sit at €140. We rank by PRR score-per-euro ratio, capped at €200. A higher price appears in this list only when the PRR score justifies the premium — and it usually doesn't below €200.
