Enebe Supra Carbon 2022

Introduction

The Enebe Supra Carbon is a tear-shaped racket for advanced players who want a balanced mix of power and control. It's a solid all-rounder that rewards clean technique.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape puts the balance slightly toward the head, but not extreme. This gives you extra power on smashes without sacrificing too much maneuverability. The weight is evenly distributed, so it swings smoothly. You'll feel the mass behind each shot, helping with stability.

Grip

The grip feels standard and comfortable. It's not overly thick or thin. Over a long match, the weight does become noticeable, but the cushioned handle helps absorb some vibration. Most players will find it okay, though lighter players might fatigue faster.

Power & Control

Power scores 8 out of 10, which is solid but not explosive. The tear shape helps generate pace, but you'll want to use your body more. Control scores 8.7, which is excellent. The medium feel and Black EVA core provide good feedback, so you can place shots precisely.

Comfort & Speed

The medium feel and carbon surfaces provide a comfortable response. It's not too stiff, so arm strain is low. Maneuverability is 8.5, which high for a racket this heavy. You can react quickly at the net, though it won't feel as fast as a lighter racket.

Materials & Durability

The frame and faces are 100% carbon fiber, which is strong and durable. The Black EVA core is firm and offers good performance over time. Carbon fiber typically holds up well to impacts, so this racket should last if you don't abuse it.

Analysis

The Supra Carbon plays like a true all-rounder. Its tear shape gives you a good blend of power and control without making you work too hard. The medium feel is comfortable, and the high rebound means the ball comes off the face quickly.

In practice, the 8.7 control score really shows. You can place shots with confidence, whether you're defending from the back or attacking at the net. The power rating of 8 is solid, though it's not a cannon. You'll need to generate some pace yourself.

The sweet spot is generous at 8.7, which forgives off-center hits. That makes it easier to keep rallies going. But it's not a beginner racket. The weight, 360-375 grams, is on the heavy side.

If you're an advanced or intermediate player who wants a dependable racket, this is worth a look. Beginners might find it too heavy and demanding. Players who rely on pure power may prefer a diamond shape instead.
