Level matters more than brand. Beginners gain most from a round shape and a low balance: the sweet spot sits in the middle of the face, so off-centre hits still travel. Intermediate players often move to a teardrop, which keeps control but adds punch. Advanced players tend to pick a diamond shape with a high balance — more power on the smash, but it demands a clean, consistent technique to be worth it.
