Diamond2026Ranked #1 in Best for power
Manoeuvrable, arm-friendly all-rounder; some find it head-heavy or short on power.
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.

MixedIn their test, the Vertex’s manageable swing, generous-feeling contact zone and versatile response win approval. Its softer feel helps defence and could suit colder conditions, but faster volleys can spring away if the hand is loose. Both dislike the short, thick Hesacore grip. They see it as the more practical option rather than the maximum-power specialist.

MixedLikes the Vertex 05's touch and sweet spot but finds it clunky and sluggish to swing even at 364 g and a 26.1 cm balance, leaving them late on fast volleys.
Players like its manoeuvrability, defence and comfortable, arm-friendly feel, with a dry touch and good all-round play. Some find it head-heavy, a bit short on power or softening over time. Feedback is mixed on the sweet spot, so it suits those wanting a balanced diamond over a big hitter.
