Piton
Our Verdict
The Black Crown Piton is a solid, honest intermediate racket that does exactly what it promises — it keeps the game simple and manageable. The carbon face and rigid carbon frame give it enough durability and structural integrity for regular club use, while the medium EVA core takes the sting out of mistimed contacts and keeps the arm comfortable. Its round shape and low balance make it well-suited to players still developing their all-round game, particularly those who need to defend confidently from the back court before transitioning into attack. If you are an intermediate player looking for a dependable daily driver that won't punish inconsistency, the Piton represents a straightforward, well-considered choice.
Piton
The Black Crown Piton is a round, low-balance intermediate racket built around a carbon fibre face and rigid carbon frame for players who want equal measures of control and power. It suits club-level players transitioning from beginner to intermediate who need a reliable, versatile tool without committing to a specialist playing style.
- Players gain a confidence-inspiring degree of consistency across different shot types, because the round shape distributes the sweet spot broadly and forgives slight mistiming on retrievals and volleys.
- Vibration is absorbed noticeably on contact thanks to the medium-density EVA core, which softens the feel without making the racket feel dead or unresponsive.
- The low balance keeps the head light and the racket easy to manoeuvre quickly in tight defensive exchanges, reducing fatigue across a full session of play.
- Players who have moved beyond intermediate level and want precise directional control or explosive finishing power at the net will quickly find this racket too generic to meet the demands of more structured match play.
