Who is the Match Light 2026 for?

For beginners who want a light, soft racket, and an option worth considering for women starting out. The teardrop gives a little more reach than a round racket without making control harder. If you prefer more weight, the Match Black/Orange goes up to 360–375 g; for a light round racket, look at the Drive Light.

Strengths

• Light: 345–360 g that are easy to move.
• Soft: fibreglass and EVA Soft Performance.
• Teardrop shape: a balance between control and reach.

Things to consider

• Smooth surface: less spin than a rough racket.
• As you improve, it will fall short of intermediate rackets such as the RX Series Light.
