OUR READING
What the specs
mean on court
On the numbers, the Alkemia Tenebris 2026 makes most sense for advanced attackers, intermediate left-side players and beginners. It is a weaker choice for intermediate all-rounders, intermediate right-side players and players with elbow or arm trouble.
A teardrop head is the middle ground: a little more reach and power than a round frame, a bigger sweet spot than a diamond. The harder core rewards a fast, clean swing with pace and precision, and punishes late contact.
Against the Alkemia Tenebris 2025, the published specs changed in 2 places:
- Weight: 345 to 375 g in 2025, 350 to 360 g in 2026.
- Face: Double layer of high-hardness carbon fiber in 2025, Triple-layer 3K carbon fiber in 2026.
If the older Alkemia Tenebris 2025 is on sale, it is usually the better value: most season changes are cosmetic or small.

Is the Alkemia Tenebris 2026 a power or a control racket?
It plays as a power racket. The teardrop shape and medium to high balance sit between round and diamond, trading a little forgiveness for some extra power.

For a player with arm trouble it scores 66 out of 98, poor fit. A softer core would absorb more of the impact. See a physio if the pain persists.
