WHAT IS THE BEST TENNIS RACKET IN 2025 ?
Each racket is tested and evaluated for its primary benefits between control, power, spin and versatility.
VERSATILITY
It’s no secret that the Wilson Clash 100 is once again the racket of the year. It offers a perfect compromise between control, power, comfort and touch. It will suit a wide range of players as it is so easy to access.
POWER
The Yonex Ezone 100 won the medal and we were literally won over. This range offers explosive power, a very good tolerance without forgetting its excellent playability! The spin can be improved, but it must be said that it allows better control of the trajectories. This one deserves its first place in the best power tennis racket category.
CONTROL
The Head Gravity deserves its top spot. It offers incredible control, feel, and spin. Thanks to its excellent forgiveness, this racket is suitable for a wide range of players. An ideal choice!
SPIN
The Vcore and the Extreme take the cake. These two rackets provide a demonic spin grip (watch out, the balls will take a beating). We preferred the feel of the Extreme and the versatility of the Vcore. They play in the same court. If your heart is set on it, the Vcore brings a little more control while the Extreme brings more power.
OUR PODIUM OF POWER ORIENTED RACKETS
Here are our team’s favourite rackets in the power department.
| Name | Power | Control | Comfort | Spin | Tolerance | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonex Ezone | 88 | 56 | 66 | 76 | 72 | 71,6 |
| Prince Legacy 120 | 98 | 32 | 63 | 90 | 98 | 76,2 |
YONEX EZONE
The Yonex Ezone range of rackets won the medal and literally won us over. This range offers explosive power, a very good tolerance without forgetting its excellent playability! The spin can still be improved, but it must be said that it allows for better trajectory control. It fully deserves its first place.
Our opinion: Easily accessible, it provides great power with an interesting control reserve. The handling and feel of this range will delight many players looking for easy power.
WILSON ULTRA
Our team liked this Wilson Ultra range which offers a very good power and a slight softness to the strike (rare on this kind of stiffness). This optimizes the control and does not make it a pure missile launcher. A special feel that we liked but that not everyone will like.
Our opinion: A superb racket with an excellent ratio of comfort, effect and tolerance. Easy to access, you’ll be won over by its good manoeuvrability.
