Enebe Combat 7.1 V2 2025

The Enebe Combat 7.1 V2 2025 is a classic all-round racket with a clear focus on precision and a slightly demanding, medium-hard feel. It suits players who like to construct points with control, but still want enough punch to finish when the chance appears.


Technical Analysis

Shape and Balance

The racket has a teardrop shape, which already hints at a balanced profile between power and control. The balance feels centered, with a slight tendency to help in offensive shots but without becoming head-heavy.

This layout gives a very stable impact zone. On standard strokes, the racket feels predictable and clean. There is no exaggerated inertia, so changes of direction in tight situations feel comfortable. It behaves like a classic polyvalent frame, with a bit more control than explosiveness.

Construction and Materials

Enebe uses a 100% carbon frame and 3K carbon faces. This combination gives the racket a solid, firm structure and a direct impact response.

  • Frame: Carbon fiber – good durability and torsional stability on off-center hits.
  • Faces: 3K carbon – adds a crisp feel and helps extract power when you accelerate.
  • Core: HR3 EVA (high recovery white EVA) – a reactive, relatively compact rubber, which contributes to the medium-hard sensation.

The result is a shot that feels defined. The ball does not “sink” too much into the core, so control is excellent, but you must hit with intention to get depth from the back.

Grip

The standard grip length is slightly generous, which helps players who like to use two hands on the backhand or who prefer to leverage the handle on smashes.

Grip thickness is conventional. Comfort is good, with no strange vibrations. With an overgrip, the handle feels secure and stable, which is important considering the firmer touch of the carbon + HR3 EVA package.

Comfort

For a racket with 3K carbon and a medium-hard core, comfort is quite decent. The frame doesn’t vibrate excessively, and the impact feels clean, especially when you hit in the sweet spot.

Players with elbow issues might want to pair it with a soft overgrip and a slightly more elastic stringing style in their game strategy, but overall, the racket is friendly for this stiffness range. It rewards clean technique and proper preparation.


Sensaciones en el Juego

Fondo de pista

From the back of the court, the Enebe Combat 7.1 V2 2025 stands out for its control. The medium-hard touch makes the ball exit more linear, with no trampoline effect. This is perfect if you like to place the ball deep into the corners or play with margins close to the glass.

Defending low balls requires some work. The racket does not give you a free boost. When you are late or off-balance, lobs need a full swing to get past mid-court. In exchange, directed shots down the line and cross-court drives feel very solid and accurate.

On topspin-style defensive strokes or lifted backhands, the teardrop format helps keep the ball trajectory consistent. Once the pace goes up, the racket answers better and becomes more comfortable, because the HR3 EVA starts to contribute more rebound.

Juego aéreo desde el fondo

On high balls from the back (globos attackable, chiquitas que se quedan cortas), you can accelerate the swing and the racket rewards it. If you like to step in and pressure with aggressive drives or high-speed chiquitas, the Combat responds with good depth and a penetrating ball.


En la red

At the net, the precision of this racket is a strong advantage. Volleys feel compact and well-directed. You can play aggressive cross-court volleys or tight down-the-line shots with confidence.

The sweet spot is generous for a teardrop, so even when you do not hit perfectly centered, the ball keeps stability and acceptable exit. Quick exchanges at the net are one of the racket’s strong sides, helped by its good maneuverability.

On bandejas and víboras, the medium-hard feel and 3K carbon help add weight and penetration to the shot. The trajectory comes out clean and with a predictable arc. You can control the depth quite well, placing the ball deep with low bounce.

However, this is not a hyper-lively racket. To get a very aggressive vibora, you must accelerate with conviction. If you are lazy on the swing, the shot may land short and allow the rival to counter-attack.


En el remate

In the smash, the Enebe Combat 7.1 V2 2025 performs more than decently, but it is not a pure cannon. Power is there, but it depends heavily on your technique.

For tray-style smashes or controlled overheads to bring the ball back to your side, the racket behaves very well. The balance and firm faces help drive the ball with a straight, penetrating flight.

To take the ball out by 3 or by 4, some physicality and clean mechanics are needed. Players with a fast arm and good timing will extract good power thanks to the 3K carbon and HR3 EVA, which respond well at high speed. Medium-level players who rely on the racket to do the work might feel that it lacks a bit of extra punch compared to very aggressive, head-heavy models.

One positive point is the consistency in the smash: the racket rarely surprises with uncontrolled output. Even on forced smashes, you know fairly well where the ball will go.


Conclusion

The Enebe Combat 7.1 V2 2025 is a racket clearly aimed at players who value control, precision, and stability, but who still want a balanced tool capable of finishing points with authority when needed.

It shines especially:

  • In back-court control, with a linear, predictable ball exit.
  • In net play, where volleys, bandejas, and víboras feel solid and easy to direct.
  • In overall consistency, with a generous sweet spot and a very defined impact.

As for weaker points, it demands:

  • A good swing in defense, because the ball does not spring off the face on its own.
  • Solid technique in the smash if you want to regularly take the ball out of the court.

I would recommend this racket to intermediate and advanced players who enjoy constructing points, who hit the ball cleanly, and who prefer a medium-hard, controlled feel over a softer, more bouncy sensation. If that sounds like your style, the Enebe Combat 7.1 V2 2025 is a very solid candidate to anchor your game.
