Who this racket is for

The givova vela targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The hard build favours explosive shots, especially bandeja and smash, but demands more technique. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Cons

✗Hard feel can put strain on the elbow — caution for injury-prone players
