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

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.

MixedHas owned both it and the Xplo: more control and lots of power, but much less manoeuvrable than the Xplo.

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

PositiveThey tried it for a set with friends alongside two other rackets and liked it the most. They found it easy to use.
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.
