I've had the chance to try two Vertex 05, I still own one. Coming from rackets like the Dropshot Explorer Attack, Pablo Lima's Canyon Pro, and having also tested Urich rackets etc.. Etc.. I expected much more from this racket. It's a formidable racket at the net, but the positives end there. It's not powerful at all, at least the two I tried. The balance feels a bit lower than declared and the weight is around 371g. They are not bad for kick-smash and overhead shots, but I expected a lot more power. The main issue is the lack of ball output, especially because it's Multi-EVA. From the back of the court it doesn't help you much. Many times it's like you don't hit the sweet spot and the ball just dies into the net without understanding why. In the end, in this kind of category, a racket like the *Urich Draft* with its Eva 30 Pro is much more consistent and generates more spin. And if I have to choose a racket that is not that powerful in attack, the Urich Draft completely outclasses the Vertex in the defensive phase and on wall exits..
