How Does the Kombat Delta Force 18K perform?

Kombat’s Delta Force 18K has wowed reviewers with its low price, comfort, ease of use, maneuverability, and control. It surprised all of our reviewers with its comfortable sensations on the court.
Players looking at the Nox ML10 should absolutely consider this.
We recommend this racket to beginners with a lot of experience in other racket sports all the way up to advanced players who prioritize maneuverability and control, with the note that its playability is slightly reduced by its medium-hard touch, which requires strokes to be followed through from the back of the court.
It is not and was never intended to be a racket for power. Reviewers note the lack of weight in the head that results in smashes with low power.
This racket is put together with great materials; however, some reviewers noticed some minor issues around durability.
The sandpaper finish on the face is useful for spin generation but will wear off quickly.

Great buy as a carbon fiber racket for €100, super maneuverable medium-touch racket. It reminds me of the ML10 with a bit harder touch
