Assassin is a mid-range racket in the Maxbolt Assassin range with a head-heavy balance (no mm figure published) 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
- Low price for a graphite frame
- 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
- No UK stockist and no brand datasheet found, so specs are second-hand
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £25.
