Who this racket is for
The Head Bolt Tall/Black 2025 is built for beginner players looking for an easy-to-handle, forgiving racket. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
