An 86 g, even-balance (290 mm) Karakal with a wide isometric head and a medium shaft, pitched at intermediate and advanced players who want one racket for singles and doubles. It leans on a larger sweet spot and low torque rather than raw head weight.

  • Even 290 mm balance (Karakal's own figure) suits both singles and doubles
  • Wide-body isometric head gives a forgiving sweet spot
  • Used by England's Ethan Rose according to BHQ
  • Not a head-heavy smasher; power comes from technique
  • Karakal's page was sold out when read, so BHQ may be a last pocket of stock
  • Flex comes from retailers only; no independent review found
