Who it is for
- You are a beginner, a junior, or returning after a break.
- You have had elbow, wrist or shoulder discomfort with heavier rackets.
- You prefer control and placement over raw power.
What stands out
- 300 to 325 g is very light, which makes the racket quick to handle and gentler on the arm.
- Round shape with a wide sweet spot: the most forgiving geometry.
- Soft feel and matte, smooth surface, designed for comfort and control.
- Carbon face and frame in a very accessible price range.
Keep in mind
- Very light rackets can feel unstable against heavy shots, and give less natural power.
- The shop page lists two different core names (HR3 and HR2), so check the spec on the page before you buy.
