PositiveI used a budget round racket that i got from decathlon and the first week the difference in firmness was a lot more than i expected so my lobs were going a lot shorter than i wanted, but now i'm used to it the ball pretty much goes exactly where i'm pointing it. I'm the right side player, which suits me.

PositiveGot a mostly fiberglass face, firm EVA core, and centered balance on a round classic with a wide, vibration-free sweet spot. Once the outer fiberglass layers break in after a few hours, you get great control and comfort across the face. Still, it feels stiff with muted ball contact at first, and the smooth surface won't help you add spin.

PositiveGreat racket for a beginner after about a year of use, though now at intermediate level they are looking for a new one.

PositiveClassic round frame with a low balance and metallized fiberglass face that gives you a huge sweet spot from the back court. It's super comfortable to control, though it lacks the punch needed for fast volleys and heavy smashes.
