The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash is a diamond-shaped racket designed for the attacking player in competitive settings. We found its primary strength lies in delivering substantial power, which is expected with its high balance and hard HES Carbon Fiber surface. In our testing, we attributed it an impressive 8.4/10 for power, making it a strong option for those who prioritize aggressive play and overhead shots. The textured surface also contributes positively to spin, where we rate it 7.8/10. With a weight range of 360-370g and a firm feel from its HES Carbon Fiber surface and medium EVA core, this racket truly caters to adults with an attacker playstyle. However, its high balance and diamond shape also mean it requires a skilled hand. We rated its difficulty at 8.6/10, indicating it's best suited for experienced players comfortable with managing a less forgiving sweet spot. Consequently, its control received a score of 5.1/10 in our assessment, suggesting players might need to be precise with their technique to maintain accuracy. The carbon fiber frame also contributes to a respectable durability score of 7.8/10. Considering its $370 price point and its specific characteristics, we gave it a value for money rating of 4.6/10. This is a racket built for performance in the hands of an advanced player focused on power and spin. If you’ve had the chance to play with the Ultimate Pro Smash, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
