PositiveShort strokes bring control and forgiveness, with useful power without a large swing. He finds the feel comfortable and reports no vibration in his test; overheads worked well for him. He mentions his tendency to overhit in the back corners.

PositiveThe broad sweet spot and easier handling of the Vertex 04 appeal, particularly for medium- and low-speed defence. He finds slice volleys, bandejas and viboras effective. He is less satisfied with blocks against very fast balls and finds the Vertex 03 slightly better on flat smashes. He would not replace a satisfactory Vertex 03 just to get the newer model.
Players are split. Some find a good mix of power and control, with precise placement and quick handling at the net. Several find it demanding, with an unpredictable sweet spot, less smash power than hoped, and little improvement over the Vertex 03. Suits experienced players better than those stepping up.
Of the 24 reviews with a clear verdict, 42% are positive, 33% mixed and 25% negative. The praise mentioned most is good control. The most common complaint is demanding.
