In this section we will give you the differences that exist between 2 high-end palas of the brand Black Crown ; the Masai and the Masai Control. Although bearing the same name and possessing many similarities, each has something that will make a difference on the pitch.

La Black Crown Masai. One of the latest 2019 innovations for the Spanish brand. Years of evolution and improvement to arrive at products like Masai. This pala is intended for players with experience in the field, with a game from advanced to professional level.

What brings them together

These two palas with the same name have the same shape as their base. Round. A choice of Black Crown to stand out from other brands often favoring a diamond shape for powerful palas.

These are two very complete palas that are able to make the difference in any part of the game.

The frame, double and tubular, made 80% carbon for its rigidity, has been studied to resist the different blows and scratches.

What differentiates them

First of all their color: Blue for Masai and Orange Red for Control.

Then the point of equilibrium. Although both round, the more powerful Masai has her balance raised slightly higher than her sister to promote speed to accuracy.

The foam used is also different. The Masai Control welcomes a softer foam, the Eva15 Soft, which allows you to feel the ball and gain control. The Masai, she is provided with a harder foam for dry strikes, the Black Eva.

Finally the surface is also different between these two palas. The Control is made with 3 layers of fiberglass to gain flexibility, to bring more to your preparation of the point. The Masai, more powerful, is made of a mixture of 2 layers of fiberglass plus a layer of 3K carbon fiber.

Finally Black Crown decided to give the same basic name to these two rackets which when we undress them are not so identical. In any case, these are two very beautiful rackets that will delight players of padel.
