Tempesta is a mid-range 5U (about 81 g) racket in the Apacs Tempesta range with a slightly head-heavy balance (295 mm) and a medium-flex shaft. Gives most of the smash benefit without making fast exchanges a chore.
- Slight head bias adds smash power without a big swing penalty
- Medium flex is forgiving yet still responsive
- Slim 6.4 mm shaft cuts air resistance for faster swings
- Mid-range materials give a less refined feel than pro-level frames
- Specs come from retailer listings, not an independent test
Where to buy
