The Lok Carbon Hype Gen 2 is a purposefully offensive tool aimed at advanced players who want a racket that amplifies aggressive intent rather than moderating it. The Carbon C6 surface delivers a firm, powerful response, whilst the custom EVA core keeps the feel from becoming punishing on repeated smashes. High balance and an oversized diamond shape combine to generate serious leverage on overhead play — víboras, smashes, and three-point shots are where this racket genuinely rewards. At 368g midpoint it sits in the upper range of typical play weights, which suits players who have the physical conditioning to swing it freely and consistently throughout a match.
Pros
  • Smashes carry genuine weight with this racket — the high balance shifts mass towards the head so momentum builds naturally through the swing without needing to muscle the shot.
  • Despite the stiff Carbon C6 surface, the custom EVA core introduces enough cushioning that hard volleys and quick net exchanges don't feel like striking a plank, which is not always a given at this power specification.
  • The oversized diamond face gives a meaningfully larger sweet zone towards the tip than a standard diamond, so mis-timed smashes away from centre don't fall away as dramatically as they would on a tighter head.
Cons
  • Players who build points patiently from the back court or rely on touch, placement, and feel to win rallies will find the high balance and stiff Carbon C6 surface working against them — this racket rewards commitment to attack and punishes a conservative game.
The Face
Carbon C6

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

The Core
Custom EVA

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
Advanced · Power players

Experienced players who favour aggressive, attacking play. Suited to competitive club players who dominate from the net and want maximum pace on smashes and volleys. Demands clean contact — rewards it with explosive performance.
