About the Lobwell Lark

Lark takes the Tor recipe and trims the weight to around 340 g. A lighter racket is quicker to move, so reflex volleys and defence off the back glass get easier, and it is less tiring over a long americano. The trade-off is a little less weight behind smashes, which most players below intermediate level never miss.

  • About 20 g lighter than Tor, which you notice in the second hour
  • Fast at the net and easy to bring back to the ready position
  • Same soft EVA core and 3K carbon faces as Tor
  • A good fit for lighter players, juniors moving up and anyone with a sore arm

Who it suits

Built for new players learning the walls and players in their first or second year. It puts placement and comfort ahead of raw pace.

It is designed at 335 to 345 g before an overgrip, which adds a few grams.

Does it come with a cover?

Yes, within 30 days if it is unused and in its packaging. See returns.
