Slazenger Epic
Epic is the family inside Slazenger's Metal Series, and the builds are named after finishes rather than levels: Silver, Aurum and Copper White. The Metal Series name goes in front of the family in listings, so a full title reads Metal Series Epic Silver.
The frames sit above the Challenge ladder in the range, aimed at intermediate players balancing precision and power, and are built around a four-layer core with an enlarged hitting surface. Where the Challenge uses numbers to mark its rungs, Epic uses metals.

Questions about the Slazenger Epic
Who plays the Slazenger Epic?
Ignacio Sager plays the Slazenger Epic on tour. Sponsorships move between seasons, so this reflects the racket they are carrying now rather than their whole career.
Are Silver, Aurum and Copper White different levels?
They are finishes within one family rather than a ladder, and the published differences are in materials and feel rather than in a stated level. The Silver leads on power and precision with a round face; the Aurum uses an enlarged hybrid surface; the Copper White is positioned for intermediate players. Compare them as alternatives rather than as rungs.
What is the Metal Series?
A collection name Slazenger puts in front of the family in listings, as in Metal Series Epic Silver. It groups rackets by finish rather than describing a level, so it tells you which part of the catalogue you are in rather than how demanding the frame is.
Epic or Challenge?
Epic if you have played enough to want a frame chosen on feel, Challenge if you want the numbered ladder and the lower price band. The Epic family sits above the Challenge in Slazenger's range and is aimed at intermediate players; the Challenge is where the brand puts its first-racket volume.
