Bestpadel Review

The Varlion Bourne Summum Carbon Black, a diamond-shaped racket with a high balance, offers a clear emphasis on power for attacking players. We found that its carbon fiber frame and medium-firm EVA Hypersoft core, combined with a fiberglass surface, contribute significantly to its offensive capabilities. In our testing, we attributed it a power score of 8.6/10, making it a strong option for those who favor aggressive play. However, this power focus means we rate its control at 5.3/10, suggesting players will need good technique to manage shot placement precisely. Weighing between 340-370g, this 2023 model is designed for competition-level adults. The textured surface provides a decent grip on the ball, and we rated its spin at 6.2/10. It is important to note that, according to our assessments, the difficulty of using this racket is 8.1/10. This indicates it is best suited for experienced players who can effectively handle a high-balance, power-oriented racket. Its durability we rated at 6.7/10, and its value for money at 5/10. Overall, the Bourne Summum Carbon Black is a specialist racket for players looking to dominate with pace and force. Its design prioritizes hitting power, which is reflected in its high balance and diamond shape. If you've played with this racket, we'd appreciate hearing your thoughts in the comments below.

Manufacturer's Description

Varlion professional level padel racket with diamond shape, focused on players who need a further touch more of power than control. It’s made of a bidirectional carbon fiber tubular and a high hardness Hypersoft foam core, laminated with a carbon fiber fabric and fiberglass. Its heart is also reinforced with carbon fiber fabric.All materials are impregnated in Varlion's exclusive VAR-FLEX epoxy resin, for maximum elasticity and strength, and coated with a layer of titanium dioxide. Summum technology rackets are a new concept of padel racket where all its characteristics have been optimized to the maximum. A longer handle than usual, to provide the player with a more comfortable and professional grip, thus avoiding having to put the overgrip over it, and also to facilitate grip for players who use both hands. 1 cm longer hitting surface. Thanks to Aerodynamic Drilling, turbulence is reduced, offering greater resistance in the core and greater stability during hitting cause the centre of the racket flexes less. This generates an increase in the sweet spot of the racket. A larger and higher rough texture on relief to achieve better effects, specially on topspin shots. This texture is made with the racket’s own epoxy resin, not with 3D stickers, which does not suffer any type of wear. The Wings Diffuser technology at the heart, with an aerodynamically improved diffuser, which gives the racket more maneuverability and precision. The LW Summum padel racket also includes an adhesive injected bumper, called Hexagon bumper, which is produced using a low hardness TPU injection mold, to absorb shocks and chafing. It is fixed on the frame by means of an adhesive material without the need to drill the frame and thus avoiding having to weaken it for its fixing. Being perfectly adhered to the frame, it also acts as an anti vibrator. And finally, it is worth highlighting the Handlesafety technology, a new safety system for the handle. Normally, in all rackets the rope comes out from a centered hole which is attached to the handle frame by means of a pin, rivets, nails, etc. However, with this system, the rope goes through the two walls of the handle and comes out on both sides of the tip, thus giving 100% safety and comfort to the grip. Bourne, Hexagon frame, Wings Difuser and Adhesive Bumper are utility models registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, and therefore exclusively owned and used by Varlion.
