Weight 130g Balance Even Level Recreational–Intermediate

The Sonic Core Lite is the gateway frame — an instrument conceived for the player who is beginning to take the game seriously, without yet demanding the severity of a tour-grade shaft. Its Sonic Core technology absorbs shock with patrician discretion, leaving your arm and your concentration intact. Light, forgiving, and rather good company for an evening’s practise on the glass.

Why We Picked ItFrom the selection committee

We stock a great many frames and quietly dismiss most of them. The Sonic Core Lite earns its place by doing the difficult thing well: welcoming a player to the game without ever patronising them. It is light enough to encourage, forgiving enough to reassure, and honest enough never to flatter a poor shot into a good habit.

For the member returning after a long absence, or the newcomer who suspects they may grow rather fond of the walls, this is precisely where one begins. Chosen with care, and dispatched with conviction.

Returned to the game after fifteen years away and wanted a frame that would forgive the rust without insulting it. The Sonic Core Lite does exactly that — light in the hand, quick to the ball, and kind to an elbow that remembers its old injuries.

My daughter’s first proper frame. She has not put it down since it arrived.

★★★★☆ Verified Buyer
An honest starter. I have since moved to something sterner, but I keep it strung for guests and newcomers at the club — it flatters no one and discourages no one.

Questions, AnsweredBefore you commit
Does it arrive strung and ready to play?
It does. Every frame leaves 14 Pall Mall Court factory-strung and match-ready, with a full-length head cover and a fitted supergrip. Should you prefer a particular tension, select it above and our stringer will see to it before dispatch.
Which grip size ought I to choose?
Most members are well served by Grip 1. Larger hands, or those who favour a firmer hold, tend toward Grip 2; Grip 0 suits a lighter, wristier game. When in doubt, size down — an overgrip is easily added, but never subtracted.
What if it does not suit my game?
Return it within thirty days, unused and in its original packing, and we shall refund you in full. We would rather you played the right frame than kept the wrong one out of politeness.
How swiftly is it dispatched?
Orders placed before noon leave the same working day. London delivery is typically next-day; worldwide dispatch is offered at checkout, and is complimentary on any pair of frames.
