RR ScoreUpdated on 2026-10-03

The Vapour Trail 90S is the power racket of the Vapour Trail line, made for experienced club and national-team players who decide the point from the back of the court. It weighs 90 g (2U), is head-heavy, and has an extra-stiff shaft, at 675 mm and with high-modulus Japanese graphite. The TCS system in the T-joint reduces twisting, Nanocell resin in the shaft increases stiffness, and the Xtreme Tension Frame withstands higher tensions, with 19 to 30 lbs recommended. It comes strung, with a cover and a G5 grip. It is a racket for a strong arm.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%58
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
