9 rackets from the finder's twenty
Control comes from a round or soft teardrop shape, the balance in the hand and a core that holds the ball a moment longer. These are the finder's control rackets past the first season: what it gives a patient player who lobs, builds and waits for the short ball.
How the list is made: every racket past the beginner stage that scores 8 or more for control on the finder's scale, most control first. No shop paid to be here, and the order is fixed before any link is added.
