Our Verdict
The Taipan Liquid Edition 2023 is a well-constructed all-round weapon for advanced club players who want genuine versatility rather than a one-dimensional power or control tool. The teardrop shape places the sweet spot accessibly without sacrificing the punch that attacking players need at the net, while the rough 12K carbon faces give it a spin capability that most rackets at this weight bracket cannot match. The EVA Soft core is a sensible inclusion — it keeps the feel lively without making the racket feel raw on demanding shots. At 368g with a medium balance and a full carbon frame and face, this is a racket that rewards technical players who bring their own game to it, rather than one that compensates for weaknesses. If you play with intent and want a racket that responds in kind, the Taipan Liquid Edition is a compelling option.
Taipan Liquid Edition
The Vibor-A Taipan Liquid Edition 2023 is a technically demanding teardrop racket built for advanced players who want to control the point without sacrificing punch. Its 12K carbon faces and EVA Soft core strike a deliberate balance between hard-surface precision and comfortable shot absorption.
- Players who generate their own pace will find the 12K carbon faces reward clean contact with a crisp, direct feel that translates well into both flat drives and heavily spun shots from the back court.
- The sandy, rough surface finish gives the ball noticeably more bite at impact, making it easier to load effect onto passes and lobs without having to exaggerate swing mechanics.
- Despite the overall stiffness of the carbon construction, the EVA Soft core takes enough edge off hard impacts to keep the racket usable across long sessions without the arm fatigue that fully hard cores can produce.
- Players below advanced level will struggle to unlock this racket — the stiff 12K carbon faces and 368g weight punish off-centre contact harshly, and anyone still developing timing or technique will find it unforgiving and tiring to swing consistently.
About This Racket
12K carbon weave — a balanced option between stiffness and flex. Good energy transfer on hard contact with enough face movement to generate spin on attacking shots. A versatile surface that works well across different playing styles.
EVA Soft core — a low-density rubber compound that prioritises comfort and vibration absorption. Keeps the ball on the face fractionally longer on contact, giving more feel and control on placement shots. Easier on the arm than harder cores, making it a good choice for players who play frequently or have a history of elbow issues.
Teardrop shape with medium balance. The most versatile combination available — sweet spot large enough to handle pressure situations, balance neutral enough to transition between defence and attack without fighting the racket. The go-to profile for all-round players.
Experienced players with developed technique who want flexibility across different match situations. Suited to competitive players who can adapt their game — equally comfortable defending from the back or finishing at the net.
