The Joma ST Blast Juanlu Esbri, a 2025 model, features a robust construction with a carbon fiber frame and a unique surface blend of 67% fiberglass and 33% 12K carbon fiber FLEXSHIELD, providing a medium firmness. Its hard FLEXO Black EVA core is designed for responsive play. Weighing between 350-360g with a high balance, this hybrid-shaped racket is built for offensive play. In our testing, we attributed it a high power rating of 8.8/10 and an equally impressive spin score of 8.8/10, thanks in part to its textured surface. While its control is rated at 6.6/10, we found its durability to be exceptional at 9.3/10. This racket is aimed at competition-level adult players with an attacking playstyle. Its high difficulty rating of 8.1/10 suggests it requires a certain level of technical proficiency to unlock its full potential. The blend of fiberglass and 12K carbon on the surface, combined with the hard core, offers a direct feel on impact. Players who prioritize power and spin in their game, especially those who enjoy overheads and volleys, will likely appreciate its characteristics. We rate its value for money at 6.6/10, reflecting its premium positioning for serious players. If you've played with this racket, we'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
