Kombat Fuji 2.5 by Manu Martin 2026

Introduction

The Kombat Fuji 2.5 is a medium-feel tear racket for control-focused intermediate and advanced players.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives a balanced blend of power and control, with the sweet spot sitting mid-low on the face. This lowers the balance point, making swings feel more stable than a head-heavy diamond.

It's a traditional shape that adapts well to all-round play. You get decent reach on defensive shots without sacrificing too much agility at the net.

Grip

The handle is standard size, comfortable in the hand without any strange ridges. The medium feel absorbs vibrations, so your hand stays relaxed during longer matches.

Over three sets, fatigue is manageable thanks to the balanced weight distribution. You won't feel excessive strain, though the overall mass will tire you slightly faster than a lighter racket.

Power & Control

With power at 7/10, this is an honest workhorse, not a power monster. You can hit deep from the back, but aggressive smashes won't have explosive speed.

Control at 9.4 is the standout. You can work the gaps with soft touches and precise bandejas, keeping your opponent guessing. It rewards your accuracy more than your brute strength.

Comfort & Speed

The medium feel is comfortable straight out of the box. The 18K carbon faces and Red EVA core are a known combo for reducing harsh impact, which is easier on your arm.

Maneuverability scores 8.8, which is high for a 360-370g racket. It moves quickly for defensive volleys and quick transitions, though it's not as twitchy as a light 330-350g model.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon fiber, so it won't easily bend or crack from normal impacts. The faces are 18K carbon, which offers a good balance of stiffness and forgiveness while keeping the racket light for its weight.

The Red EVA core is a standard durable foam that maintains its properties over time. No extra woven layers are listed, but the carbon should hold up fine for a competitive club player.

Analysis

The Fuji 2.5 plays like a precision tool. Its control score of 9.4 means you can place shots exactly where you want, making it deadly for angles and drops.

Power comes in at a solid 7, which is enough for most players but not a cannon. You'll need to generate pace with your own swing, especially on smashes.

The rebound rating of 8.4 gives good ball output, so shots don't die on the strings. The sweet spot is above average (8.6), offering forgiveness on off-center hits.

That said, if you rely on raw power to win points, this racket will feel a bit tame. Beginners might also find the 360-370g weight demanding over long sessions.

It suits players who value control above everything and have solid technique. If you prefer an easy power boost, look at a diamond-shaped, harder feel racket.
