Black Crown Hurricane 2.0 2023

Introduction

A round, medium-soft racket for players who want easy power and a huge sweet spot without sacrificing comfort.

Shape & Balance

The round shape centers the balance low, which boosts stability and control. You get a consistent, steady swing that's easy to time.

It doesn't swing as fast as a diamond racket, but the high maneuverability score means you won't feel sluggish. Expect a balanced, forgiving feel.

Grip

The grip is standard and comfortable, fitting your hand well. The racket's medium-soft feel reduces vibration, so your hand stays calm.

Over a long match, fatigue isn't a big issue thanks to the forgiving core. You'll appreciate the comfort in extended rallies.

Power & Control

Power at 8.2/10 is high for a round racket, giving you extra pop without extra effort. You can hit through the court with confidence.

Control at 7.5/10 is solid but not pinpoint. You'll have good direction, but players looking for surgical placement might find it slightly lacking.

Comfort & Speed

Maneuverability at 8/10 means it moves well for its weight. You can react quickly at the net and in defensive situations.

Comfort is a standout—the soft EVA core and medium-soft feel absorb shock. This racket is easy on the arm and shoulder.

Materials & Durability

The frame uses double tubular 80% carbon, giving solid structure without stiffness. The faces are glass fiber, which adds flexibility and durability.

These materials hold up well over time. You'll get a reliable racket that won't crack easily, even with regular play.

Analysis

The Black Crown Hurricane 2.0 is a round racket with a massive sweet spot (9.1/10), which forgives off-center hits. Its medium-soft feel and EVA core absorb pace, making it forgiving on your arm.

Power scores high at 8.2/10, which is unusual for a round shape. You get solid pop on smashes and aggressive shots without needing to swing wildly.

Control sits at 7.5/10, which is solid but not elite. You can place the ball well, but precision players might want more.

Rebound is 8.9/10, meaning the ball comes off the face fast—you'll feel that on defense. Maneuverability at 8/10 keeps it quick at the net despite the weight.

This racket suits intermediate to advanced players who value power and comfort. Beginners might find it heavy (355-370g) and better suited to lighter options. If you're a pure control player, look elsewhere.
