The Ranger pairs Softee's teardrop shape with an unusually head-light 260mm balance - lighter toward the head than most teardrop frames, which shifts the whole racket toward maneuverability and control rather than the shape's usual power lean.

Our verdict

The Ranger pairs Softee's teardrop shape with an unusually head-light 260mm balance - lighter toward the head than most teardrop frames, which shifts the whole racket toward maneuverability and control rather than the shape's usual power lean. The soft EVA core and fibreglass face keep the strike comfortable and forgiving, making this an easy, accessible all-court racket rather than a specialist frame. A sensible option for a player who wants teardrop versatility without the weight and heft that usually comes with it.

We loved
  • Unusually light, easy-to-move balance for a teardrop shape
  • Comfortable, forgiving strike from the soft core and fibreglass face
  • Accessible pricing for a genuinely versatile all-court racket
Worth knowing
  • Power trails a standard, more head-heavy teardrop noticeably
  • The light balance means committed attackers may want more mass behind the ball

A lighter-balanced take on the teardrop shape

Softee builds this with a noticeably lighter, more head-light balance than most teardrop rackets carry, which makes it quick to move and easy to control rather than a power-first frame. The soft core keeps the strike comfortable through a full session. We'd point a player chasing pace toward a heavier, more head-heavy teardrop instead, but as an accessible, easy-handling all-court option, it does the job well.
