Softee Swat Sky

Introduction

The Softee Swat Sky is a tear-shaped, fiberglass racket for players who want a soft, forgiving feel without demanding top-level power.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives you a head-heavy balance, which helps with power but still feels manageable. The weight range (355-375g) is on the heavier side, so swing weight is noticeable but not extreme.

Your swing will feel stable and solid, but not light. You'll need to prepare a bit earlier on fast exchanges.

Grip

The grip feels standard and comfortable in hand. The heavy weight might make it tiring for some players over long matches, especially if you have a weaker wrist.

For most, it should be fine for a couple of hours, but don't expect a total featherweight feel.

Power & Control

The power score of 6.1 is average, so you get a solid pop, not a cannon. It works best on defensive shots that need depth, but you won't easily overpower opponents.

Control at 5.6 is its weak point. You'll struggle to place precise angles or drop shots exactly where you want. Expect some inconsistency on soft shots.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is good thanks to the medium-soft feel and EVA Soft core. It dampens vibrations well, especially on off-center hits.

Speed is average—maneuverability at 6.0 means it's not fast, but it's not clunky either. You can react to fast balls, but you'll put in a little extra effort on volleys.

Materials & Durability

The frame and faces are 100% fiberglass. Fiberglass usually gives a softer, more forgiving response, but it's not the most durable material for heavy play.

It should hold up fine for recreational use, but hard hitters may see wear and tear quicker. The EVA Soft S3 core will maintain its flexibility for a good while, though.

Analysis

The Swat Sky plays as a medium-soft racket that absorbs pace well. Its EVA Soft S3 core gives it a plush response, but that softness costs you some punch.

The ratings tell the story: power is middling at 6.1, and control sits low at 5.6. So you get decent pop but not pinpoint placement. Rebound is middling at 6.7, so the ball comes off the face at a steady, predictable speed.

Maneuverability is middling, good for a tear shape at this weight. The sweet spot is average, which means you'll feel off-center hits but they won't jar your arm.

It's not a racket for aggressive finishers or precision players. If you rely on power or exact angles, this will leave you wanting.

It suits beginners and intermediates who prioritize comfort and want an easy-to-use racket for slow rallies or learning technique.
