MixedHad the AT10 12K 2025: smaller sweet spot and slightly softer than the previous year, the lacquer chipped at the X and the sharp-edged cap was uncomfortable.

Teardrop2025Ranked #2 in Best of 2025
Controlled and manoeuvrable with a gentle effect on the arm; not a power racket for some.
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.

MixedOwns the 12K and 18K 2025; in cold winter the 12K is very hard to handle with its reduced sweet spot, though they expect it to be perfect in spring and summer.
Players praise it for control, manoeuvrability and a gentle effect on the arm, a little more direct than the 18K. It is not a power racket for some, and a few find it dry, stiff or demanding. A few report cracks or chipping paint.
Of the 67 reviews with a clear verdict, 60% are positive, 22% mixed and 18% negative. The praise mentioned most is good control. The most common complaint is demanding.
The complaints reviewers mention most: demanding (4 reviews), durability issues (4 reviews) and small sweet spot (2 reviews). For example: After trying the AT10 12K 2025 they didn't like it: comfortable from the back but heavy in the hand, feels like the classic Nox rubber despite the black EVA, and needs a lot of push to get speed overhead.
