About the Lobwell Ridge

Ridge is the bridge between a first racket and a proper all-rounder. The teardrop head moves the sweet spot slightly higher than a round racket, so a bandeja or a smash has more behind it, but it is still far easier to live with than a diamond. Choose it if you play twice a week, you are comfortable off the back glass and you want more pace without giving up control.

  • Teardrop head lifts the sweet spot a little for more reach on overheads
  • Medium EVA core: still forgiving, with more bite when you swing through
  • Even balance, the middle ground between a control and a power racket
  • Light texture on the face helps the ball grip for slice

Who it suits

Built for players in their first or second year and regular players who use the walls with confidence. It balances pace and placement.

Questions about the Lobwell Ridge

Is the Lobwell Ridge good for beginners?

It is designed for improver and intermediate players. Beginners usually do better with a round racket such as Tor.

How heavy is the Lobwell Ridge?

It is designed at 360 to 370 g before an overgrip, which adds a few grams.

Does it come with a cover?

Not on its own. Add a thermal cover, and with two or more accessories you save 10% on them.

Can I return it?

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