Karakal Raw Pro 2.2 ‘Joel Makin’
- Tour-spec signature frame developed with PSA pro Joel Makin — balanced blend of precision and pace for competitive play.
- Mid-plus head and dense 14×18 string pattern give excellent shot placement and control.
- Ergonomic oval handle and fast-return graphite construction promote crisp feel with reduced unwanted vibration.
Tecnifibre Slash 120 Power Used by Mostafa Asal
- Light-weight frame (~120 g) designed for agile handling and quick racket-head speed.
- Smaller head with streamlined shaft aimed at combining control with power generation.
- Well-balanced for advanced players who can create their own power but want precision in length and placement.
Dunlop CX132 Used by Diego Elias
- Heavier than average (~132 g) with a head-light balance for enhanced manoeuvrability.
- Larger (~500 cm²) head and dense 16×19 string pattern deliver pinpoint control and touch.
- SonicCore vibration-dampening tech improves feel and sweet-spot consistency for accurate retrievals and drives.
Dunlop CX125 Used by Aly Abou Eleinen
- Mid-range weight (~125 g) offering a balance of control and accessibility for club-level to advanced players.
- Likely retains the CX series SonicCore and control-oriented string pattern (denser for accuracy).
- Good for players who want a blend of touch and responsiveness without the extra weight of the 132.
Dunlop CX120 Used by Amina Orfi
- Lightest in the CX range (~120 g), making it especially quick through the air and easier to manoeuvre.
- Still control-oriented (SonicCore tech & tighter string pattern) but with slightly faster swing speeds.
- Aimed at players who prioritise volley play and fast hand work over raw power.
Oliver Apex 5.0 Pro Used by Baptiste Masotti
- Designed for offensive play with a lightweight (~125 g) frame that still feels solid and stable.
- Even balance and enlarged sweet spot help combine power with accuracy on attacking shots.
- Frame materials and profile support effortless handling and quick reactions at the T.
Oliver Apex 720 Used by Simon Rösner
- Performance-oriented model in Oliver’s Apex line, likely focusing on all-round playability (power + control). (No detailed spec page found; inferred from typical Apex series traits and positioning.)
- Mid-weight frame tends to offer a good blend of manoeuvrability and hitting stability for club-level play.
- Suited to players who want reliable feel across varied shot types without extreme head-light or head-heavy bias.
Harrow Reflex 125 Used by SJ Perry
- Light and responsive (~125 g frame) with a teardrop-shaped head, helping generate added power without sacrificing control on drives and volleys.
- Slightly head-heavy balance boosts momentum through the ball for stronger drives while still being manoeuvrable around the ‘T’.
- Designed and refined with input from top pro Tarek Momen, offering a versatile feel suited to intermediate through advanced players who want touch and pace.
