The cheapest and heaviest of the Vex Striker line: a mid-weight 3U graphite frame with a medium shaft and a near-even balance. It suits a newcomer stepping up from an aluminium racket who wants something forgiving that is easy to swing.

  • Low price for a graphite racket, already strung
  • Medium flex and larger sweet spot forgive off-centre hits
  • Light enough to swing easily despite the 3U weight
  • Basic materials, nothing like the Phantom or Viper frames
  • Balance wording and grip size differ between UK shops
  • Low tension limit (22-26 lbs)
