Who this racket is for
The Black Crown Piton Air 12K 24 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. 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.
