Five hours with a test Raptor: very little ball output, great for blocking but weaker groundstrokes; felt dry and dead at first, then clicked, and they're buying it; not a beginner racket despite the round shape, with a thin, short grip.
“It has very, very little ball output which is cool while blocking against fast tennis player balls at the net”
The praise reviewers mention most: easy power (2 reviews) and forgiving (1 review). For example: Right-side low-intermediate player who used the Raptor+ 2026 for about a year; finds it very forgiving with a big sweet spot and plenty of rebound, strong from the back, and comfortable, though at the net the ball output needs a swing adjustment.
