Who this racket is for

The head vector 2025 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. 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.

  • Soft touch adds comfort during longer matches and defensive exchanges

  • Smooth ball exit supports confident shots without excessive physical effort

Cons
