Simon Vasquez Pro

The top of the line, RS Simon Vasquez Pro is RS’s offensive-focused racket that aims to compete with the Babolat Technical Viper and the Adidas Metalbone.

Its high quality construction and beautiful aesthetics wowed our reviewers. Its power is more generous due to its EVA Adaptive core, which adds reactive capabilities to hard EVA.

"With a shape that is a hybrid between a teardrop and diamond, it feels more like a teardrop with it’s Adaptive EVA core, which aims to react differently depending on the speed of the impact. It has a longer handle which helps with the overhead game. Designed for intermediate players and up."

"It is designed to be an attacking racket, but compared to the Babolat Technical Viper, it has a larger sweet spot and more ball output. It is a versatile racket for intermediate or advanced players."
