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.

MixedAfter about 40 matches on the right side, smashes feel like the ball does not go enough, as if the racket is too soft or absorbs too much momentum, though they wonder if it is technique.

PositiveClassic fiberglass and HR3 rubber build on an arm-friendly round racket that makes defending easy. Its low balance and wide sweet spot pop difficult balls over the net even with a short swing, and the aluminized face stays consistent in hot or cold weather. Up at the net, it's super agile for placing steady volleys and defensive bandejas without straining your shoulder or elbow. On the flip side, the soft face absorbs pace when you try to punch fast volleys or flat smashes, the smooth finish lacks spin bite, and the handle is quite short.

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.
