Focus on the racquet padel of the world number one, Marta Marrero and of the world number 6, Adrian Allemandi: The Black Crown Puma.

The Puma is a new 2017 model of the brand Black Crown. This is a high end racquet that we have tested.

A versatile racket

The Puma is a round racket whose weight does not exceed 370 gr. Based on these characteristics, we can imagine that the Puma is a racket for players not necessarily looking for power in the racket. But here is the racket is a mixture of carbon fiberglass and a balance not too in sleeve. This makes it possible to compensate for the first characteristics mentioned.

This very high-end racquet has managed to mix a clever dosage allowing us to make By 3 without too much force. It is not the French player Mathieu Lapouge who will say the opposite.

In defense, she excels. It's his garden. The handling of this racket is excellent. She cash well. Same when decentering, the ball does not start at all. His field of action is wide and will allow those who do not necessarily play at the center to propose a clean ball.

Always interesting technologies

The Puma also has something a little special: Its new Armor technology. This is more of a technology that has an impact on the desgin of the racket is it is successful with a transparent effect that can see the fiberglass used on the racket. (Green color)

Black Crown otherwise uses a classic core: Eva rubber of medium hardness and offers 80% carbon fiber, therefore offering a very wide sweet spot. It is especially at the impact of the ball that one realizes it.

The anti-vibration system is always interesting as well and reduces elbow injuries. Nevertheless, today, there is a technology to increase this effect there. We talk about it in the article dedicated to the anti-vibrators: https://padelmagazine.fr/les-anti-vibrateurs-pour-le-padel-ca-fonctionne/

Our conclusion

With its initial program and its basic features, we expected a rather tender racquet focused on defense. However, it is clear that this is actually a nerve racket, which can prove to be a real weapon in attack. So obviously, in defense it is surprising, we feel good with this racket. This is a favorite of the editorial team for its versatility and the quality of its construction.
