Checked on 29 September 2026 against Cork's Supreme Control IV page and Supreme Hybrid IV page. These are descriptions, not measurements we performed. Neither page provides a directly comparable measured swingweight or stiffness test.

Make it a fair weight comparison

Both maker pages also offer five weight bands spanning 350 to 375 g in their selectors. That is wider than their specification ranges. Ask for the actual sample weight and fitted grip/protector setup. Do not compare a lighter Control sample with a heavier Hybrid sample and attribute every difference to the model.

Which one should you try first?

Try Control IV first if you specifically want to assess a lower-balance configuration. Include Hybrid IV if you want to compare a medium-balance alternative. The labels do not establish how much faster either sample will move or how accurately you will hit.

Choose one shot you want to improve, such as a blocked volley or a compact defensive return. Alternate the two rackets with your current one in the same session, and record both the improvement and the tradeoff on our free demo worksheet. This is a suggested personal comparison, not a validated testing protocol.

Keep IV separate from older reviews

This page compares generation IV. A review of Supreme III, or an unnumbered Supreme, does not establish how IV plays. Confirm the full model name on the order page. We have not play-tested this pair or borrowed another player's experience as our own.

Our calculated ratings use published inputs and disclose missing information. Manufacturer performance percentages and our scores are different things; neither is a measured result from you playing with the racket. Read the source table before treating a small score difference as decisive.
