sweet spots, then smash weight
I started on a borrowed club frame that felt tiny. After six weeks with a round racket from here, mishits actually stay in. I play Tuesday socials and the sweet spot is the whole reason I kept it. Handle still feels a bit bulky in my small hands, but the ball goes where I mean.

Moved from a soft round shape once I wanted to finish at the net. The carbon diamond I grabbed has real weight on the smash and the rough face bites for spin on bandejas. Had it three months. A little firmer on the elbow after long sessions, which is fair for the extra pop.

Night socials twice a week. I wanted something that still felt easy after work, not a pro stick. The lightweight round one swings quick and the foam takes the sting out. Off-centre blocks still find the glass instead of the fence. That’s all I needed.

I attack more than I defend. The 12K carbon face I use now is stiff and the head-heavy balance helps on volleys. Used a fibreglass round for a year before this. Spin on the textured face is the detail I notice every match. Would not go back.
