Enebe RSX Grapheno 2021

Introduction

The Enebe RSX Grapheno 2021 is a heavy, power-first tear that suits advanced players who want to end points fast.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape puts the balance toward the head, making the racket feel heavier than its weight. That gives you extra punch on smashes but also makes late reactions harder.

You'll feel the mass in your hand, so be ready to set up early. The swing is smooth once you get it going, but it's not a racket you flick around easily.

Grip

The handle is standard Enebe, with a tacky grip that feels secure in the hand. It's comfortable for a few games, but the weight can cause fatigue in your forearm during long matches.

Make sure your grip is solid; otherwise, the racket's momentum can twist it on off-center hits.

Power & Control

The 8.9 power rating is outstanding—you can hit through opponents with ease. The racket adds real pace to your shots, even with moderate effort, making it a serious weapon on attack.

Control at 8.6 is better than many high-power rackets, but it demands a clean strike. If you're off balance, the ball may sail. But with proper footwork, you can angle the ball well and find lines.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is a mixed bag. The medium-hard feel and stiff carbon transmit vibrations, so you feel every hit. That's not bad for some players, but it can be harsh over a long session.

Maneuverability is 8.3, which is high for such a heavy racket, but it's still a workout. You can react quickly at net if you're strong, but slower players will find it sluggish in defense.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon, and the faces are 24K carbon, which gives a stiff, responsive playing surface. This combination is built for durability and delivers that explosive power.

The core is UltraSoft EVA, a softer foam that helps absorb some shock and adds a bit of touch. It balances the stiffness, but it still feels firm. Expect the racket to hold up well over time if you don't hit the frame often.

Analysis

This racket plays exactly like its numbers suggest. You get explosive power on every shot, especially smashes and flat drives, thanks to the 24K carbon faces and the high 8.9 power score.

The control rating of 8.6 is genuinely high, but you have to work for it. The racket is heavy, so precise placement requires solid technique and a consistent swing. It rewards clean hits with accuracy, but mishits can feel wild.

The rebound of 7.3 is solid, meaning balls come off the face with a lively, direct feel. It's not springy or soft, so you feel the impact clearly. The sweet spot is forgiving at 8.0, but it's not a huge help if your timing is off.

This racket is not for beginners. The weight and stiffness demand a strong arm and good footwork. If you're still developing your swing, you'll struggle to get it moving in time and may get tired quickly.

Look elsewhere if you want a soft, easy racket. But if you're an experienced player with a long, fast swing, this gives you real power without giving up control.
