A factory-strung Karakal graphite racket with a slim 7 mm shaft and an isometric head, sold as an easy-going all-rounder for improvers and intermediate adults. It is even balance and on the flexible side, so it rewards smooth, fast swings more than raw power.

  • Very low price for a graphite racket, often discounted well below RRP
  • Even balance and flexible 7 mm shaft are forgiving and quick to swing
  • Comes strung with a cover
  • Entry-level build; not a power racket
  • Retailers disagree on balance and flex wording (see notes)
  • Max tension not read

Where to buy

None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: £50.
