Common questions
Diamond or teardrop at advanced level?
Depends on your game. If you finish points with smashes, the Hack 04 or Coello Pro diamond serves you better. For complete all-court play, the Neuron 02 Edge or Radical Pro gives more versatility.
How much should I spend on an advanced racket?
Check current prices via the links - the range varies. The Radical Pro 2026 is consistently one of the best value options in this category.
How long should an advanced racket last?
With regular play 3-4 times per week, 12-18 months before performance noticeably degrades.
