The Enebe Response Woman 2022 is a teardrop racket that Enebe built for women. It weighs 341 to 355 g with an even balance, so it is light in the hand without feeling head-heavy. The faces are 24K carbon fiber over an HR3 Soft EVA core, set in a carbon fiber frame, and the surface is smooth. That soft core gives a medium-soft touch and a medium-size sweet spot. It sits in the entry-level price bracket, at roughly 100 to 149 euros.

How it plays..

Our take: Kaj's summary

The Response Woman is easy on the arm. Its soft EVA core takes the sting out of hard balls, and the low weight keeps the racket quick when you are late on a shot. The sweet spot is medium, not oversized, so a clearly off-centre hit still loses some pace and direction. For a player who is building consistency, comfort and control come first here, and power comes second.

Defense

Defense

Defense is where this racket is strongest. The soft core absorbs the pace of the opponent's shots, and the carbon construction keeps the face stable enough to place the return. Lobs come off the face with good precision. Because the racket is light, you also react faster when the ball comes at you under pressure.

Attack

Offense

This is not a pure power racket. The teardrop shape helps you get good speed on smashes and drives, but only when your technique is right. Its medium-soft feel keeps attacking shots under control, which also means hard hitters get less free pace than from a stiffer racket.

Netplay

Net play

At the net, the low weight and even balance make quick volleys feel natural. The soft core gives good touch on short, delicate volleys. Control and maneuverability together make it easy to direct the ball, and technical shots like the víbora feel controlled.

Our Advice for New Players

Beginners

A pure beginner can play with it, but the racket is aimed at players who already have some technique. If you are just starting, a more forgiving option may suit you better, or you can plan to grow into this one.

Our Advice for Intermediate Players

Intermediate players

Intermediate players get the most from it. The mix of control and power supports technical development, and the soft feel helps keep rallies consistent. It suits players who are building an all-court game and want one racket for many situations.

Competitive level

Advanced players

Advanced players who like a technical, controlled style will value the precision and maneuverability. Players who want maximum power on every smash will find it too soft and should look at a more attacking racket.
