Our assessment

Treat this as a new generation

The core changes from the 2026 Attack 12K's HR3 Black EVA to MLD Black EVA. VCS also joins the technology list. These are reasons to compare the two in person if you have a strong preference for the older model's response.

We would begin at the stock setting and judge a full sequence of defensive shots before adding weight. The system allows up to 8 g extra, which can meaningfully change how the racket moves with your grips fitted.

Who should choose it?

Choose the Attack when a high-balance diamond already works for your game. If you are looking for a more general AT10-style fit, compare a teardrop option first. The textured face is useful equipment detail, but shape, weight and your timing deserve priority over the feature list.

Consider an alternative if: You need a light, forgiving racket for learning defensive timing.

Strengths

  • Attacking shape with medium-firm construction.
  • MLD core and VCS distinguish the 2027 generation.
  • Weight adjustment and Dual Spin surface.

Drawbacks

  • High balance can make rushed defence demanding.
  • A newer specification does not guarantee a better personal fit.
