10 rackets from the finder's twenty
The finder's grip question is about the hand, not the player: if your fingertips touch your palm round a standard grip, it looks for a racket sold in a lighter edition with a thinner handle. These are sold that way under the same name, from a first racket to a power diamond.
How the list is made: every racket sold in a lighter, smaller-grip edition under the same name, easiest first. No shop paid to be here, and the order is fixed before any link is added.

The pure power diamond. For the left-side finisher who already hits the centre every time and wants the smash to end points.
