Scores are relative to level and context, not absolute. How the Verdict Score works →
All 162 verdicts →How a verdict is made.
Three layers sit between a marketing department and the number you see. Each one is documented, repeatable and public.
Collect the data
Declared specs, measured weight and balance, materials, price — every racket enters as structured data, not as a press release.
Score 8 parameters
Power, Control, Maneuverability, Spin, Comfort, Sweetspot, Playability, Stability — weighted differently for attackers, defenders and hybrids. The same racket can earn three different scores, because your game isn't average.
Cross-check the consensus
A modifier compares our numbers with measurements and player feedback across markets. Hype can inflate a product page; it doesn't move the score.

5 questions.
Your 3 rackets. 60 seconds.
The quiz maps how you play onto the same scoring engine — no generic top-10, just the rackets that fit your game.
Start from your game, not from a brand.
Power · Stability · Spin
Attackers
You finish points at the net. Your score rewards ball exit, solidity on impact and bite on the smash.
All attacker verdicts →Control · Maneuverability · Comfort
Defenders
You build points from the back glass. Your score rewards placement, fast reactions and an arm-friendly response.
Control · Maneuverability · Playability
All-court
You adapt to every situation. Your score is the most balanced — no single parameter can carry a racket alone.
