The Cybershape 18K LW offers a distinctive feel on court, particularly due to its hybrid shape and soft Hypersoft foam core. We found it very maneuverable, which is aided by its low balance and lighter weight range of 337-353g. The 18K Carbon Duplex surface, while rated hard, combines well with the soft core to provide a good balance for ball feel. In our testing, we attributed it 9/10 for spin, thanks to its rough surface, making it a true spin maestro. Its control we rate at 7.2/10, while power comes in at 5.8/10. We also noted a low difficulty score of 4.8/10, making it quite accessible. This racket is well-suited for intermediate players looking for an all-rounder with a focus on control and spin. Its lighter profile and low balance point can be beneficial for players seeking to reduce strain on the arm and wrist, making it a solid choice for adult and junior players alike who prioritize agility over raw power. The 360 Carbon Frame contributes to a durability rating of 7.3/10, suggesting a robust build. We'd be interested to hear your thoughts if you've had a chance to play with the Cybershape 18K LW.

Manufacturer's Description
Looking for a padel racket that’s lighter, but that still offers total control? Then take a closer look at the Cybershape 18 K Padel Racket LW. This lighter twin of the Cybershape 18K offers the same excellent feeling of control on contact and a softer ball impact, yet it weighs less and is easier to manoeuvre. The low balance point gives you a sense of good control and the reinforced carbon-fibre layer and the exclusive silver treatment bind the weave to give you a hitting surface that delivers finesse without sacrificing speed or precision. In wind-tunnel tests with Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Cybershape racket consistently performed well, with up to 12 % less air resistance compared to traditionally shaped rackets. This offers a completely new experience in play, with more dynamics and range of motion. It’s a racket designed to cut more effectively through the air. The Cybershape 18K LW is suitable for all types of players, but especially those looking for a lighter racket that’s easier on the elbow and wrist and that offers a large, forgiving sweet spot. An excellent choice for experienced adult and younger players who want a lighter racket with low balance. The unique Cybershape design gives you a larger, generous, and more optimized hitting surface that translates into unique advantages on the court. Thanks to the racket’s hexagonal shape, the sweet spot is 20 % larger; in addition, the sweet spot is higher than in traditional rackets. This well-dimensioned sweet spot is hard to miss. The edges of the racket align perfectly with the court surface, so you can make better shots closer to the glass and the ground. The long handle provides a good grip and more flexibility in your game. Cybershape 18K LW has an strong frame made from 100 % carbon fibre, which we call the 360° Carbon Frame. This creates a racket with fast response and capacity to handle very powerful shots from your opponent. The textured Crystal Grip surface creates maximum spin on the ball and enhances ball control. The long handle offers more flexibility and features a detachable wrist strap that’s easy to replace.
