What are the best Fever rackets for competitive play

In Mario Tennis Fever, top Fever rackets for competitive play prioritize disruption, control, and sustained pressure over raw power. Experts rank Swerve, Volcano, Star, and Freezing highest in tournaments due to their ability to outmaneuver and debilitate opponents.

S-Tier Rackets

These dominate high-level matches by controlling court positioning and applying DoT (damage over time).

Racket	Why Competitive	Unlock Matches
Swerve	Curves shots unpredictably; masters lobs/topspin for unreturnable angles.
Volcano	Crater + volcanic bombs cause ongoing ignition damage.
Star	Temporary invincibility + speed ignores enemy effects.	Rank C
Freezing	Ice chunks freeze foes, halting their offense.

Strong Alternatives

Metal Racket: Invincibility rivals Star but lacks speed; great for defense (38 matches).
Shadow Racket: AI clone returns shots automatically (2 matches).

Avoid weaker ones like Banana or Inky in comp-they’re too gimmicky and easily countered.
