Akkeron Oro Furia A22 RC

Introduction

The Akkeron Oro Furia A22 RC is a round, control-focused racket for all-court players who value precision and comfort over raw power.

Shape & Balance

The round shape shifts balance slightly toward the head, but it still feels well-weighted. It swings more uniformly than teardrop or diamond shapes, which adds stability.

This round profile makes it easier to control where the racket goes through the air. You don't get the whip of a diamond, but you get a solid, steady feel on every shot.

Grip

The handle is standard, and the medium-soft feel extends to the grip area. It sits comfortably in your hand without any jarring vibrations.

Over a long match, fatigue is minimal because the racket is well-balanced. Your wrist and forearm don't have to work overtime, even in tight rallies.

Power & Control

With power at 6.9, don't expect free pace. You'll need a full swing to send the ball deep, but the racket rewards good technique with a clean strike.

Control at 8.4 is the real highlight. The round face and soft core keep the ball on target, making this a sharp tool for placement shots and defensive lobs.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is high thanks to that medium-soft feel and EVA UltraSoft core. It absorbs impact well, so your arm stays fresh during long sessions.

The maneuverability score of 9.1 is outstanding. It's fast to bring up for volleys and quick to reposition, which suits defensive players who rely on reactions.

Materials & Durability

The frame and faces are 100% carbon, which usually means good stiffness and long life. Carbon is a solid choice for durability, though it can feel harsh if not paired with a soft core.

Here, the EVA UltraSoft core softens the carbon, so you get a racket that's both durable and friendly on the arm. Just avoid hitting walls or rough surfaces, as any racket can chip.

Analysis

This racket plays like a classic round control model. The round shape and medium-soft feel make it forgiving and easy to handle, which is why the maneuverability and sweet spot scores are so high.

The control rating of 8.4 is spot on. You place shots with real accuracy, and the EVA UltraSoft core gives a consistent response off the middle. The rebound of 8.9 also means you get good ball speed without swinging hard.

Power is middling at 6.9, so aggressive players who like to smash winners will find it lacking. You have to generate pace yourself, and this racket won't help you overpower opponents.

For beginners, the sweet spot and control make it a great learning tool. For advanced players, it's more of a tactical choice than a powerhouse.

If you rely on brute force, look elsewhere. But if you value placement and consistency, this fits well.
