Joma Valkiria Pro HRD 2026
First impressions: my racket weighs 367 grams with two overgrips, balance of 26.5cm, I don't feel any difficulties in defense, it has "normal" mobility, it has a very hard feel 8.5/9 out of 10, it doesn't have that typical trampoline effect, you can feel the ball but not as much as a light/medium/medium hard feel racket, the strength and technique you use in the strokes is the power it gives you, 0 help from the racket, it ends up being more technical than the vast majority of rackets, it's for those who have an upper intermediate, advanced level, and it's only an option for those who play in warm climates, because in winter it must be almost impossible to play with it.
I love using harder rackets in the summer but I wasn't expecting it to be so hard.
