Bestpadel Review

The Oxdog Ultimate Pro is designed for the competitive player with an attacking playstyle, particularly those who favor power in their game. Its diamond shape and high balance, combined with a 365g weight, make it a formidable option for generating aggressive shots. We found that the hard HES Carbon Fiber surface, paired with a medium foam core, delivers a crisp feel on impact, which translates directly into the impressive power we attributed it, scoring 8.4/10 in our tests. While its strength lies in power, players should be aware of the trade-off in control; we rate its control at 5.1/10. The smooth surface type and the inherent characteristics of a high-balance diamond shape mean it demands precision from the player. This contributes to its difficulty rating of 8.1/10, suggesting it’s best suited for experienced hands. For spin, we attributed it 6.3/10, which is respectable for an attacking racket, allowing for some versatility in shot-making despite the smooth surface. Its carbon fiber frame also contributes to a solid 7/10 durability rating. Given its specific characteristics, this racket will benefit those who are confident in their technique and prioritize explosive power from the back of the court or in volleys and smashes. For its $380 price point, we rated its value for money at 4/10, reflecting its specialized nature and the specific demands it places on the player. We encourage those of you who have played with the Ultimate Pro to share your thoughts in the comments below.
