What players say
Independent coverage of the Nova V3 Team itself is thin - most hands-on playtesting of this family comes from the heavier Tour and standard 100 builds, which share the same mold and Kraibon/FS2 construction and only differ in weight and balance. Within that shared-mold lineup, reviewers describe easy, Pure Drive-level power with noticeably more dampened comfort than typical stiff power frames, positioning the Team as the lighter, more maneuverable 10oz option for intermediate players who still want that power.
Best for
- Intermediate players who want Nova power in a lighter frame
- Players upgrading from a junior or lite frame
- Players who want stability without extra static weight
- All-court or doubles players prioritizing maneuverability
Pros
- Kraibon elastomer gives a comfortable, well-dampened feel reviewers compare to Yonex-level dampening rather than a harsh, stiff power frame
- Easy, explosive power from the 100 sq in head and 16x19 pattern, described as approaching Babolat Pure Drive power levels
- Lighter 10oz/6pts HL spec makes it more maneuverable than the standard Nova 100 or Tour while keeping the same mold and tech
- Feel lands between an Ezone's dampening and a Pure Drive's crispness according to reviewer comparisons
Cons
- Net play and volleys lack refined feel and control, a common tradeoff noted across this power-oriented family
- Touch shots reportedly take some dialing in on string tension/setup to control all the easy power
- Little independent, weight-specific commentary exists for the Team build itself; most detailed playtests cover the heavier Tour version from the same mold

The racquet gave me easy power and spin without arm discomfort. It's well dampened, kind of similar to Yonex racquets.

Like with most power racquets, you don't find the most refined feel and control at net.
