The round shape and the Piton Air Plus's control-oriented setup mean this racket is not a power-first tool; instead it favors constructed points where placement and consistency matter. The medium-soft core reduces abrupt rebounds, so you won’t get the explosive speed of a power racket, but you do gain smoother ball control on volleys, serves and mid-court exchanges.

If your game prioritizes building points, finding angles and maintaining a reliable touch at the net, the Black Crown Piton Air Plus 2022 supports that style with a less power-led personality and a large sweet spot that helps keep off-center hits manageable.

Weighing between 355g and 370g, the Piton Air Plus sits in a range that balances stability with relatively easy handling. That weight window and the round head shape make it approachable in quicker exchanges and on rapid directional changes, helping players recover and re-position without excessive swing effort.

Expect good control through the swing: the racket’s profile and forgiving impact translate to steadier placement on volleys and defensive shots, with maneuverability that supports fast reactions at the net.

Only the materials provided here are referenced: the face is fiberglass, the core uses Super Control EVA with a medium-soft hardness rating, and the frame is noted as an Air 2TB model reinforced by four layers of PitonGlass. The handle integrates AVAIR, an anti-vibration system embedded to reduce vibrations after impact.

• Fiberglass face — typically offers a softer, more controlled rebound compared with stiffer fibers.
• Super Control EVA (medium-soft) — adds forgiveness and a dampened feel on contact, prioritizing control over outright pop.
• Air 2TB frame with four layers of PitonGlass — contributes to shock resistance and structural stability.
• AVAIR anti-vibration handle — reduces transmitted vibrations, which can help comfort and reaction consistency.

On court the Black Crown Piton Air Plus 2022 feels forgiving and comfortable rather than lively or stiff. The medium-soft core dampens harsh impacts, so volleys and blocked shots come through with a muted, controlled response that encourages placement and reduces arm strain.

The AVAIR anti-vibration system and the reinforced frame combine to make impacts feel less jarring, while the broad sweet spot from the round shape keeps mishits playable. An expert rating of 8.1 reflects a solid balance of comfort and control in this package.
