Who this racket is for

The kelme mastin 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 medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. With a weight of 356-360g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.

  • Strong sweet spot helps maintain consistency under pressure

Cons
