Softee Ranger Green

Introduction

A heavy, diamond-shaped Softee for experienced players who want power and can handle a demanding swing.

Shape & Balance

The diamond shape puts most of the weight toward the top. That gives a head-heavy balance, which boosts power on overheads but makes the racket swing slower.

You’ll feel the mass during slower shots like bandejas or volleys. It’s not a forgiving shape for long rallies.

Grip

The handle feels standard, but the overall weight makes it tiring after an hour or two. Your wrist and forearm will work harder to control the head-heavy swing.

If you have a strong grip, it’s manageable. Weaker hands will struggle late in a match.

Power & Control

Power is the highlight—6.6 out of 10 means solid pop on flat hits. The fiberglass frame and soft core give a lively response.

Control is the weak point at 5.9. You’ll need to focus on technique to keep shots accurate, especially on half-volleys or soft drops.

Comfort & Speed

The EVA Soft S3 core provides a medium-soft feel, so impact is comfortable even on hard hits. Vibration is dampened well.

That said, the low maneuverability (5.6) makes it slow to switch directions. You won’t win quick exchanges at the net—it’s more about setting up for a big strike.

Materials & Durability

Both the frame and faces are 100% fiberglass. This material is flexible and forgiving, which helps with the medium-soft feel.

Fiberglass is generally durable for casual play, but it can chip over time if you hit the floor often. Expect a standard lifespan, not exceptional toughness.

Analysis

The Softee Ranger Green is built around power, and its 6.6 score reflects that. You feel it right away—the ball leaves the face fast, especially on smashes and flat shots.

But the trade-off is control. A 5.9 rating means placement is harder, and off-center hits wander. The sweet spot is small at 5.3, so you need clean contact every time.

Maneuverability is low at 5.6, largely due to the weight (355–375 grams) and diamond shape. It feels heavy in the air, so you’ll need strong timing for defense and quick reactions at the net.

If you’re a defensive player or someone who struggles with a heavy racket, this isn’t for you. Beginners will find it punishing—the small sweet spot and low control make it hard to enjoy.

For aggressive, advanced players who want raw power, it does the job. Just be ready to work for it.
