The Boulder Opal 14mm uses the same Next Gem platform as the Black Opal, but with more control: the power range was widened to give more forgiveness, dwell and dampening, and the pop became more predictable. It debuts the SharkSkin surface, with powdered aluminum oxide for spin and lasting texture. The core is 14 mm G4 Aerospace solid foam. Hybrid shape of 16.3 x 7.5 to 7.7 inches, 5.5-inch handle, 4 1/8 circumference and a weight of 8.0 to 8.3 oz, with a swing weight of 114 and a twist weight of 6.3.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%60
Approval from players35%67

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.
