Light version of the 2026 Drive, designed for those who are starting out or want a racket that barely tires the arm. It has a round shape, medium balance and a weight between 345 and 360 g. The fiberglass faces and the EVA Soft Performance core make the touch soft and help the ball come off even on slow shots. The surface is smooth, with 55 holes and a thickness of 38 mm. The centered sweet spot forgives contact errors, which makes it easier to learn baseline shots and defense off the wall.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%68
Approval from players35%87

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.

Recommended for beginners only: the RR Score for this category goes up to 75. It may be great for what it is designed for, but it does not rank among the best in the sport.
