X-Bass

Dropshot’s X-Bass is a teardrop was slightly softened this year with the brand’s new EVA pro. Otherwise it is the same as previous year’s versions.

Note that some of our reviewers received models with high balances (28cm) that granted a lot of power and decreased maneuverability while others received models with medium balances (26cm) that were more versatile.

That gives me concern regarding the quality assurance practices at Drop Shot.

"Very good for those looking for a medium touch diamond without too high of a balance with a long handle. I recommend it for those looking for control at high speeds. It’s a very versatile racket."

"Best for high intermediate, advanced players who like to shoot bombs and have the strength and technique to do - its high balance. Dropshot’s EVA Pro is different this year (2023) - it is white (previously black) and softer than last year’s version."
