Men at an advanced or professional level who already have solid technique will get the most from the Kraken PRO. It rewards clean timing and stroke work by converting head-speed into power, so players who favour an aggressive, versatile game will appreciate its profile.

Because the model is medium-hard and head-heavy, less experienced players or anyone seeking maximum shock absorption should be cautious — the racket expects the player to generate control through skill rather than forgiveness from the frame.

The teardrop mould and high balance concentrate mass toward the top of the frame, boosting leverage on smashes and attacking volleys. That geometry, combined with the face and core pairing, makes the Kraken PRO an effective option when you want to build pressure and finish points.

While it is attack-leaning, the ‘versatile’ designation is accurate: it still offers enough control to work the point, so players can mix power drives with placement rather than relying on raw pace alone.

High balance typically reduces instantaneous maneuverability compared with even-balanced frames, but the 350–385 g range keeps the Kraken PRO within a manageable envelope. The lighter end will feel quicker through the net; heavier builds increase stability on power shots.

Control comes from the combination of the medium-density core and the racket’s profile: it gives predictable, solid responses under aggressive swings, though fine-tuned directional control requires good timing and wrist work.

Face: Carbon Fiber. Core: Medium density EVA. Surface: Rough. Hardness: Medium-hard. Those are the primary material facts for the Kraken PRO and they explain much of its behaviour on court.

Carbon fiber face brings stiffness and a crisp response at impact; the medium-density EVA core balances rebound and control rather than offering extreme softness. The rough surface helps generate extra spin, and the medium-hard rating translates into firmer feedback that favors power-oriented players.

On contact the Kraken PRO reads as firm and responsive — you feel the ball sit briefly on the stringbed before it launches. That sensation gives confidence when accelerating into smashes and aggressive drives, delivering clear feedback on shot quality.

In fast exchanges the racket remains reasonably manageable, especially toward the lower end of the weight range, but the head-loaded balance makes it feel more assertive on follow-throughs than neutral models. Defensive shots are solid but feel less cushioned than softer-core rackets.

The medium-hard core and high balance combine for strong power and clear feedback, but they also transmit more vibration to the arm than a softer, even-balanced racket. If joint comfort or maximum forgiveness is a priority, this may not be the ideal choice.

The 350–385 g range gives options for handling versus stability, yet heavier setups will demand faster preparation and stronger wrists. Finally, because the Kraken PRO is aimed at experienced players, beginners will likely struggle to extract its strengths.

• Firm impact feel — less forgiving on mishits.
• Head-loaded balance increases power but reduces instant maneuverability.
• Weight range allows tuning between quick handling and more stable power.
