Pick the Metalbone Team 3.4 if
- You want to spend less: it is £15 cheaper delivered today (£94.99 against £109.99).
- You want more power: a diamond head puts the sweet spot higher, which helps smashes and volleys.
- You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
Pick the Metalbone Team Light 3.4 if
- You want more control and a bigger sweet spot: a round head is more forgiving on off-centre hits.
- You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
- You want a lighter racket: about 15 g less.
Not a factor, because they are the same on both: feel (both soft), level (both advanced).
