The Kombat Etna 2025 is an uncompromising attacking tool aimed squarely at players who dominate from the net and want maximum power behind every smash. The combination of a diamond shape, high balance point, and high-density Black EVA core produces a racket that punishes short balls and rewards aggressive shot-making. The 12K carbon surface adds enough texture to generate spin and effect, meaning the power on offer does not come at the expense of shot variety. At 365g mid-range weight and 100% carbon construction throughout, it is well-suited to physically confident players who are ready to commit to an attacking game plan. If your goal is to take time away from opponents and finish points decisively at the net, the Etna delivers the tools to do exactly that.
Pros
  • Overhead smashes feel notably explosive off this racket — the high-density Black EVA core transfers energy efficiently rather than absorbing it, rewarding players who swing with intent.
  • Even when contact is slightly off-centre, the high sweet spot placement keeps shot quality surprisingly consistent for a diamond-shaped racket, reducing the usual penalty for mishits in attacking positions.
  • The rough 12K carbon surface generates meaningful effect on the ball, giving serve-style smashes and angled shots extra bite that genuinely troubles opponents retrieving from the glass.
Cons
  • Players who defend patiently from the back court and rely on feel, ball retention, and touch to construct points will find the stiff Black EVA core and high balance punishing — this racket does not reward defensive or all-round play.
The Face
Carbon 12K

12K carbon weave — a balanced option between stiffness and flex. Good energy transfer on hard contact with enough face movement to generate spin on attacking shots.

The Core
Black EVA

High-density EVA core — the hardest and densest core compound available. Returns energy aggressively on hard contact, with the ball leaving the face quickly and efficiently.

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.
