Collection note: Core firmness conflict: the description says the M-Eva Balance foam gives 'un tacto medio', but the technologies section describes M-EVA BALANCE as 'Goma media-dura'. Core value is therefore null. Weight is given as 368 (+/- 8 g), so the range is 360 to 376. The balance is stated as Medio, but the Dynamic Star system is said to adjust it by 'una media de 0,3 cm'. Year 2026 comes from 'colección 2026' and the tag coleccion:2026. The level line reads 'Profesional y Semi Pro', while the tag reads 'nivel:profesional'. The product is listed under Outlet (estado:outlet) even though it belongs to the 2026 collection. The URL slug is 'raptor' but the product name is 'Raptor +'. No frame material is stated. FIVE SIDES TECH describes a rigid structural profile, not a material.
How our estimates work
These ratings are calculations from published specifications, not measured playing results or our play tests.
Not published for this racket: firmness. Each missing input counts as the neutral midpoint, so treat these ratings as less certain than for a racket with all five.
- Power 51 = shape (teardrop) 22.5/45 + balance (medium) 17.5/35 + weight (368g) 11.2/20 = 51.2 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Control 50 = shape (teardrop) 30/60 + balance (medium) 20/40 = 50 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Handling 48 = balance (medium) 25/50 + weight (368g) 22/50 = 47 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Forgiveness 42 = shape (teardrop) 22.5/45 + firmness (not published) 17.5/35 + face material (carbon) 0/20 = 40 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Comfort 39 = firmness (not published) 20/40 + face material (carbon) 0/25 + balance (medium) 10/20 + weight (368g) 6.6/15 = 36.6 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
