Smash Limits

What impressed me most about the FÍOR was the power you can generate when attacking. It feels quick through the ball and really rewards you when you commit to the shot, especially overhead. I spent a good few hours putting it through its paces and came away really impressed. It’ll definitely be going into my bag for my next competition.

The rackets had a very comfortable feeling when hitting the ball, and the core felt responsive while maintaining control. Both rackets were aggressive enough in terms of balance, but the difference between the SAOR racket, with its medium-high balance, and the FÍOR racket, with its high balance, was clear. I was also happy to see that both felt like well-tested, finished products designed for high-intermediate and advanced players.

As an intermediate player, I really enjoyed playing with the SAOR. I particularly liked its comfortable feel and the balance between power and control. It felt easy to manoeuvre during rallies, while still giving me enough power when attacking and playing overhead shots. I also found it very responsive when hitting the ball, which gave me confidence to play more aggressively. Overall, I really enjoyed testing it and will definitely be using it in my next matches.
