Verdicts
ONIX Evoke Premier
An underrated standard-shape all-rounder. It rewards players who make clean contact in the middle of the face and does nothing badly.
Proton Series Four (Project Roadrunner)
The exposed Kevlar weave is the story: it grips the ball like a fresh grit face but, unlike sprayed textures, it is the material itself, so the spin number does not decay over a season.
