Plenty of power on smashes, but several report arm pain or errors from the back court.
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.

MixedPlayed the men's Vertex 04 2025 for a year as a left-sided intermediate and loves its power, though it sometimes lacks forgiveness; developed tennis elbow over the last six months and is looking for a lighter racket.

MixedSmaller sweet spot and much heavier than their old racket, but a cannon that accelerates the ball well.

MixedIn their test, smashes feel powerful, attacking shots controlled and víboras bite strongly. Defence takes more work, mishits are unforgiving and the head weight requires strength. They notice little improvement over the previous model.
Players mostly agree it has plenty of power, especially on smashes. The trade-offs are a smaller sweet spot, less forgiveness and extra weight, with several reporting arm pain or control errors in the back court. Suits attackers more than control players.
