Pros

  • 24K carbon faces deliver 9/10 power — the top score in this spec sheet — by combining the highest available weave density with a fixed 360 g weight that Campagnolo can swing at full speed consistently through long match conditions
  • Fixed 360 g eliminates weight variability between identical frames, giving professional players a predictable, reproducible swing feel on every shot regardless of environmental conditions
  • High-density Eva Pro core provides a precise, fast ball response on drives and overheads, maintaining the 8/10 ball exit while preventing energy loss through core compression that standard-density foam introduces at high swing speeds
  • Teardrop shape achieves 8/10 on both maneuverability and sweet spot simultaneously — Campagnolo's all-court game demands a racket that can accelerate at the net and win points from mid-court without changing frames
  • Advanced anti-vibration technology in the frame specifically counteracts the shock generated by hard medium-hard 24K carbon contacts, protecting Campagnolo's arm during the intensive professional training volumes his season demands

Cons

  • Control scores 7/10 — the lowest figure in the spec sheet — confirming that the 9/10 power and teardrop geometry prioritize pace generation over defensive placement accuracy
  • Medium-hard touch on 24K carbon still transmits significant vibration on off-center hits — advanced players without established technique will find the firm response physically taxing over a full match
  • Even balance at 360 g offers no head-heavy advantage for maximum smash output — players seeking the absolute highest overhead pace should consider a diamond-shaped, head-heavy alternative
