Is it your racket?
We'd rather you buy the right one than this one.
You'll love it if
- you like a firm, crisp feel off the face
- you want power on smashes without a head-heavy racket
- you use spin and want a face that grips the ball
Maybe not if
- you have elbow or arm niggles, try the Tournament Evo SFT
- you're still learning, a softer racket is more forgiving
The Joma Gold Evo HRD is Joma's top-end competition racket and the attacking one of the Evo pair. Medium balance, 8K carbon faces and a hard, high-density black EVA core, so it feels firm and crisp and gives you real punch when you accelerate through the ball.
The medium balance stops it feeling head-heavy, so it's still quick enough at the net and steady in defence, but when you want to finish a point the hard core rewards a proper swing. The Dualtech frame, a carbon tube filled with EVA, keeps it stable on off-centre hits.
The face has a rough, sand-effect 3D texture for spin on smashes and slices, the holes are spread out to keep it manoeuvrable, and the open throat helps it move quickly. Black and gold, and it looks the part.
For intermediate and advanced players with good technique who want a firm, powerful racket that still lets them control the rally.
- Hybrid/diamond shape, medium balance
- 8K carbon faces, rough 3D sand finish
- Hard black EVA core
- Dualtech carbon frame, 38mm profile
- 360 to 370g
