Bestpadel Review

The Oxdog Hyper Tour presents itself as a competition-level racket designed for the adult player, aiming to offer a balanced experience across different aspects of the game. With its teardrop shape and high balance, we expected a focus on power, and indeed, according to our tests, it scores 5.7/10 for power. This is complemented by a control rating of 4.8/10, indicating it leans more towards offensive play, particularly for players who can effectively manage a higher balance point. We found the 370-gram weight, combined with the carbon fiber frame and HES carbon fiber surface, contributes to a solid feel on impact. The medium surface firmness and soft foam core provide a comfortable touch, which can be beneficial during extended play. The textured surface is a nice addition, and we attributed it a respectable 6.6/10 for spin, suggesting players can generate good rotation on the ball when executing slice and topspin shots. However, we rate its difficulty at 7.7/10, meaning it might demand a higher skill level to consistently extract its full potential. Overall, the Hyper Tour offers a specific feel that will appeal to players comfortable with a head-heavy teardrop racket. Its construction aims for a blend of responsiveness and comfort. We rate its durability at 6/10 and value for money at 4.2/10, positioning it as an option for those seeking a particular playstyle. If you have experience with this racket, we would be interested to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
