Our Verdict
The Black Crown Piton Premium 2024 is a well-engineered control-first racket that gives advanced technical players an honest, versatile platform. The Power Soft Memory Eva core at 17-density delivers a soft, memory-rich response that rewards clean striking and precise intent, while the Sandspin texture turns well-struck shots into genuinely loaded ones with effect. Its 60/40 control-to-power split is not a weakness — it is a design choice that suits players who construct points intelligently and trust their technique. The 2 TB carbon frame and 3K carbon outer layer keep the structure stiff enough at the periphery to reward accuracy without punishing imperfect contacts unfairly. For the club-level advanced player or competitive all-rounder who wants a racket that responds to quality rather than brute force, this is a serious and well-specified option.
Pros
- Players gain excellent directional precision when placing the ball, thanks to the combination of the low-density fiberglass face and Power Soft Memory Eva core, which together offer a longer dwell time and a distinctly informative feel at contact.
- The Sandspin rough surface finish generates noticeably higher spin rates than a standard smooth face, giving technically capable players a real weapon when applying effect from the back court or on volleys.
- The 2 TB double tubular carbon frame adds structural rigidity at the edges, meaning the racket maintains its response consistency even on off-centre contacts without feeling brittle or unpredictable.
Cons
- Players who rely primarily on raw smash power and prefer a high-balance, head-heavy feel will find this racket's medium balance and 40% power profile insufficient for aggressive net-domination play.

The Core
EVA Soft Memory (Power Soft Memory Eva, 17 density)
