Black Crown Piton
A very balanced paddle thanks to its dual-density core. Feels very comfortable in defense due to its round shape and maneuverability, but responds firmly when you go for power at the net. Ideal for advanced players who want control without giving up some attack.

Who this racket is for
The Black Crown Piton suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. Its round shape concentrates the sweet spot in the center of the face, increasing tolerance and favouring control. With a low balance, it gains maneuverability and quick response at the net. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
