Who this racket is for
The Kombat Etna 2025 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. 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.
Pros
- ✓10/10 power rating — the maximum possible — is produced by the diamond frame geometry concentrating mass in the upper hitting zone, amplified by the head-heavy balance that dramatically increases rotational swing momentum
- ✓Head-heavy balance at 360–375 g creates the highest possible swing inertia, ensuring every overhead smash carries the maximum kinetic energy transfer at ball contact
- ✓Hard construction and medium-hard touch deliver a firm, snappy response on flat drives and smashes, giving advanced players a confident, direct connection to the ball
- ✓Carbon materials in the frame provide high structural rigidity that prevents energy loss through frame flex, channeling force directly into the ball on every hit
- ✓8/10 ball exit score confirms that the hard core and diamond geometry create a fast, explosive rebound kick that rewards powerful natural swings
Cons
- ✗Sweet spot is rated 7/10 — the diamond shape concentrates the optimal zone in the upper third, meaning off-center hits are noticeably punished with loss of direction and pace
- ✗Control sits at 7/10, the lowest figure alongside maneuverability — this is a specialist offensive tool that sacrifices shot shaping for maximum pace generation
- ✗Maneuverability is also 7/10 due to the head-heavy balance and hard construction — defensive scramble shots and fast net exchanges require deliberate physical effort to control
