Babolat Evoke 105 Tennis Racquet (Prestrung)

Excellent raquet and very nice colors.

Pretty good

Exceeded all of my expectations for a budget racquet after my racquets were stolen and I could not afford the newest model. The high quality of this racket frame is pleasantly surprising, because there weren't many reviews floating around for me to make my decision. My previous racquet was a Babolat Drive Max 110, and I wanted a smaller head size, between 100 & 105 for my skill level. Very lightweight, comfortable on the elbow and shoulder, with an easy and balanced swing; the head size is perfect for any beginner transitioning to intermediate wanting a larger sweet-spot with good maneuverability. The frame and color scheme looks like a very expensive racquet, with no cut-outs, no plastic pieces, or cost-saving measures visible. The synthetic strings are immediately playable and unlike some of the cheaper racquets I have play-tested, there is no noticeable vibration or instability through the strings or the frame. I would recommend this racquet and the Drive Max equally over the Head Ti. S6 I played with, despite the cheaper price. In the future, with a higher skill level, I would consider upgrading to a 100-sq-in. head size, with a heavier swing weight, and balanced towards the head.

I am an older intermediate player and found the balance and frame were easy on my arm and added a lot to my control game. It hit well and served excellently! If you are planning to play in the US OPEN this year, this racket is way below your needs! If you play to have fun it is perfect!

Light weight and large head size make this a great entry level racket. Comfortable grip. Cool design is a plus.
