The Carlton Tornado 5000 is a recreational racket made entirely of high-quality tempered steel, with an internal T-joint. The construction prioritizes toughness, designed to withstand heavy use in schools, camps, and backyard games. It weighs 120 g, much more than competition rackets, has a G5 grip, and a recommended maximum tension of 6.35 kg (about 14 lbs). The heavier head and slow swing do not favor quick plays, but the racket is unlikely to bend or break. It is a purchase for those who need sturdy equipment for many people to use.
