Canyon Soft

Soft diamonds are not so common and the Dropshot Canyon Soft definitely fills this gap.

It scores relatively low because most of our reviewers find it difficult to control a racket with high weight, high balance and a soft core, but it will suit players seeking a comfortable “free power”-oriented racket.

"This is a soft diamond, which is unusual. It pushes the ball with little swing. It’s a hammer not to hammer the ball, but to caress the ball and push your shots for you."

"Not suitable for beginners, only recommended for intermediate players with reservations - it has easy control but requires constant focus."
