NegativeHas had two ST4s with quality problems, a loose part inside and bad paint, and the replacement was refused although the racket was used fewer than five times.

Hybrid2025Ranked #1 in Best of 2025
Easy power and control at a good price, though feel divides opinion and several report paint chips.
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.

NegativeBought an ST4 Pro about ten days earlier and is disappointed: after three sessions it had paint chips and, after very light contact with the glass, a real crack in the frame. Calls it poor build quality for the price and wonders if it is a defect.
