Pasol 6 Star
The Pasol 6 Star sells on Amazon.com for $33.99 which is great value for money as you get 2 rackets. Intermediate to advanced players will find the racket to be on the heavier side. It is a well-rounded racket that performs decently but can take some getting used to.
The Review
Facts
Not a lot is known about the Pasol brand. The Pasol 6 Star is a Chinese manufactured racket targeting intermediate and advanced players. It has 1.5mm premium rubbers stuck to it that lean towards spin and speed.
The racket is rated as follows: Spin 9, Speed 8 and Control 8. It weighs about 190 grams.
Our Opinion
We find the Pasol 6 Star is a great value intermediate level racket. $33.99 for TWO rackets is pretty amazing. Its performance also surprised us. We were expecting a cheap racket that would be good for the casual player but it immediately proved otherwise.
It is on the heavier side of rackets and will take some getting used to if you play with a light racket. The spin and speed on the racket are great as well. It only really lacks in control which if you are an intermediate or advanced player shouldn’t matter.
Overall the Pasol 6 Star is great value for money and is a great choice for a cheaper racket that can still perform.
Other Options
The Pasol 6 Star is a great intermediate level racket that gives you great spin and speed. What it lacks in power can be made up with experience although we would recommend that you get a better quality racket for overall performance and durability.
If you want a more powerful racket that yields better overall performance you should take a look at the Palio Legend 2. A professional racket with great value. Read the full review here.
