diamond rackets
Maximum power but hard to control
Diamond-shaped rackets are built for advanced, aggressive players who thrive on power. The sweet spot is smaller and located near the top of the racket, requiring greater accuracy and refined technique. When struck well, these rackets deliver explosive smashes and high-impact volleys – perfect for those who dominate at the net.
