A short introduction:
Three shapes, what's the difference?
It can be difficult to choose which shape of racket suits you best. We hope the information below clarifies and makes it easier for you to understand the difference.

Diamond shape
Just as it sounds, the racket is shaped like a diamond. These rackets often have a high balance and are thus more front-heavy. A diamond-shaped racket usually suits the player with an offensive playing style as it will offer more speed. This means that the defensive controlling game becomes slightly worse with a diamond-shaped racket.

Drop shape
The racket is shaped like a drop and is therefore more defensive compared to a diamond-shaped racket. It can be said that a drop-shaped racket has a good combination of both speed and control. This means that the racket suits both offensive and defensive players who are looking for an all-round racket.
The balance point is generally in the middle of the racket, if not slightly above the middle.

Round shape
Same here, just as it sounds, the racket is round in shape. These rackets often have a low/medium balance which gives good control in your game. This means that round shaped rackets are suitable for defensive players who seek precision in their shots.
Round-shaped rackets usually have a larger sweetspot (hit area where the ball gains speed), which means it is a good choice for the beginner as well as the skilled competitive player.
