Hard Hitter Power is a mid-range 4U (about 84 g) racket in the Apacs Hard Hitter range with a head-heavy balance (300 mm) and a stiff-leaning shaft. Suits attackers who finish points from the rear court.
- Head-heavy balance puts extra weight behind smashes and clears
- Stiffer shaft gives a crisp, direct response on full swings
- Rated to 38 lb string tension, so it takes a tight, crisp stringbed
- Head-heavy and stiff, so it is tiring and unforgiving over a long session
- Mid-range materials give a less refined feel than pro-level frames
- Specs come from retailer listings, not an independent test
