Who is the Drive Black 3.4 for?
For beginners and intermediate players who want a manoeuvrable, forgiving racket that helps them place the ball. The low balance keeps the weight close to the hand. If you want a more all-round approach with the same materials, look at the Match Blue or Match Black.
Strengths
- Control: round shape and low balance for easy ball direction.
- Easy to handle: weight near the grip helps in defence and at the net.
- Comfortable materials: fibreglass with an EVA Soft Performance core.
Things to consider
- With low balance, the smash has less punch than on medium- or high-balance rackets.
Drive Black or Match Black 3.4 2025: which one?
Both are fibreglass rackets with an EVA Soft Performance core, 360–375 g and a beginner-to-intermediate level. The Drive Black is round, low-balanced and control-oriented with a matt finish; the Match Black has a smooth gloss surface and a 38 mm thickness.
Is the Drive Black suitable for starting out?
Yes. Its round shape, low balance and fibreglass build aim it at beginner and intermediate players.
