MixedJust bought it and, coming from a Vertex 04, finds it hard to handle in the first days of play; a drive-side player unsure whether to keep adapting.

Diamond2025Ranked #7 in Best of 2025
Free power on smashes and attacking shots, but a small sweet spot and arm pain for several.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

MixedBought the new 3.4 ten days earlier and finds it a little harder to play than the previous Metalbone, which was easier to handle; hopes to get used to it.
Most players who like it point to free power, especially on smashes and attacking shots. The downsides are a small sweet spot, a high balance that makes it slower to move and defend with, and arm pain for several. Best suited to strong, advanced attacking players.
