The Kombat Arenal 2025 is a confident offensive tool aimed squarely at players who want to control points from the net. The diamond shape combined with a high balance maximises leverage on smashes and put-aways, while the 18K rough carbon surface adds spin and precision that gives aggressive shots a sharper edge. The medium-hard Black EVA core keeps the feel from going too stiff, which means power shots don't sacrifice feedback. The 100% carbon frame keeps weight low and structure tight, contributing to the 355g build that remains manoeuvrable despite the head-heavy balance. For an intermediate or advancing player who is confident at the net and ready to dictate play, this is a well-specified and purposeful racket.
Pros
  • Players who attack from the net will find genuine pop on smashes and volleys, driven by the high balance point pushing mass into the upper face where impact matters most.
  • The 18K rough carbon surface generates noticeably more spin than a standard carbon finish, giving net players an extra weapon when angling balls into the glass.
  • At 355g with a medium-hard Black EVA core, the racket absorbs enough vibration to feel composed on firm hits without going soft — strikes land with a satisfying solidity rather than a dead thud.
Cons
  • Defensive players and those who construct points patiently from the back court will find the high balance and diamond shape work against them — recovery speed drops and the reduced forgiveness low on the face punishes mishits in stretched positions.
The Face
Carbon 18K Rough

Carbon face — stiff construction with direct power transfer. Crisp feel on contact that rewards clean striking technique with responsive ball speed.

The Core
Black EVA Medium-Hard

Foam core — the softest core material available. Excellent vibration absorption and a large effective sweet spot, making it the most forgiving option on off-centre hits.

Shape & Balance
Diamond · High Balance

The head-heavy weight distribution increases leverage through the swing arc, translating directly into pace on smashes and aggressive volleys. The sweet spot sits high on the face — effective when attacking, but demands cleaner contact than a round or teardrop would.

Who Buys This
Intermediate · Power players

Club players with developing technique who want to add more pace to their game. Comfortable with a smaller sweet spot, looking to generate more power on smashes and aggressive shots.
