Enebe Combat Ultrasoft Verde 2021

Introduction

The Enebe Combat Ultrasoft Verde 2021 is a round, soft-feeling racket for players who want control and easy handling, not raw power.

Shape & Balance

The round shape means the balance sits low, toward the handle, making the racket head light. This gives you a stable swing and easy rotation, which helps with control.

You won't feel a heavy head pulling back on fast volleys. It's built for defense and diagonal placement, not for smashing.

Grip

The grip size is listed as standard, offering a comfortable hold for most hands. Over a long match, you shouldn't notice excessive strain.

Some may find the round shape makes the grip feel slightly short for two-handed backhands, but it's a minor quibble.

Power & Control

A 6.1 power score means you get usable power but nothing explosive. You'll need to swing fast to push the ball deep.

Control at 6.7 is decent, not stellar. You can aim well, but don't expect pinpoint accuracy without practice. It's a balanced trade-off, leaning slightly more to control than power.

Comfort & Speed

The soft EVA HR3 Soft Black core and fiberglass faces give a plush feel that absorbs vibration, so it's comfortable on the arm. No jolts on off-center hits.

At 8.6 for maneuverability, this racket moves quickly. You can react fast at the net, making it great for defense and volley exchanges.

Materials & Durability

Both frame and faces are fiberglass. This is standard for mid-tier rackets, offering a flexible response and decent durability.

The EVA HR3 Soft Black core is soft, which contributes to the comfortable feel, but softer cores can lose stiffness over time. Expect a lifespan that's fine for casual to regular play.

Analysis

With a round shape and mid-soft feel, this racket is designed for control and comfort. The power score of 6.1 is on the lower end, so you won't be smashing winners from the back. Instead, control at 6.7 lets you place shots with decent accuracy, though you'll need to generate your own pace.

Rebound is high at 8.1, meaning the ball springs off the face quickly which helps in defensive situations. Maneuverability shines at 8.6, so the racket feels light in fast exchanges at the net. The sweet spot is solid but not huge—you'll feel it when you're off-center.

This isn't a racket for hard hitters. If you rely on power, you'll find it lacking. Better for intermediate players who value placement over speed. Beginners might also appreciate the forgiving feel.

Avoid if you're a competitive player needing more pop.
