4.4out of 563 reviews

The CX14E Ultimate Power is the elongated version of the CX14 redesigned with Power Band technology, which releases the SST carbon rib structure from the perimeter and creates a trampoline effect in the face. It has no polymer honeycomb: the core is solid Toray T700 carbon chambers, with a woven 3K carbon face and a frame with no edge guard. It measures 16.6 x 7.4 inches, weighs 8.4 to 8.6 oz and has a 5.6-inch handle with a 3 5/8 or 3 15/16 grip. The feel is solid and very powerful, with a wider sweet spot than the original CX14.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%69
Approval from players35%68

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.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
