Fastest Racket

avatar male m

There’s two parts to being a fast racquet.

1. Fast aerodynamically – good for long fast strokes, e.g. smashes and clears.
2. Fast to manoeuvre – good for short fast strokes, e.g. defence and drives.

All racquets have differing levels of speed in both areas. To achieve (1) you obviously need a good aerodynamic frame (low drag). To achieve (2) you just need less head weight.

But to answer your question, the racquet with the best of both for me is the 4U JS10. Although aerodynamically, the BS12/11/10 and Arc ZS are faster imo.
