Scores out of 10 from our specification-based indicators.
Key differences
Both are teardrop rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
The Black Crown Special Max 2026 has a medium-high balance against high for the Enebe Response 3K EVO 2026, which changes how head-heavy it feels on overheads and how quick it is at the net.
Feel: medium for the Black Crown Special Max 2026, medium-hard for the Enebe Response 3K EVO 2026. Softer cores give easier depth at low speed and more comfort; harder cores reward fast swings with precision.
Faces: 18K Aluminum versus 3K carbon.

How we score rackets
Our Power, Control, Comfort and Ease of use indicators (1–10) are calculated by TiebreakNews from each racket's published specifications — shape, balance, feel (core hardness), face material and weight — using the same rules for every model: diamond shapes and high balance add power, round shapes and low balance add control, soft cores and fibreglass faces add comfort, and lighter, forgiving, round frames are easier for beginners. They are a fair way to compare specs, not a lab test. Specifications come from the Padel Rackets catalogue and manufacturers; always check the retailer's product page before buying.
