The Varlion Canon Carbon Black is a diamond-shaped racket designed for competition play, targeting adult players who prefer an attacking style. It features a carbon fiber frame with a 38mm profile and a textured surface combining carbon fiber and fiberglass, contributing to its hard feel. The core is a medium-firm EVA Hypersoft, which balances power delivery with some comfort. We found its weight range of 335-365g to be standard for this category, and its high balance point is typical for a power-focused racket. In our hands-on assessment, we rated its power at 8.1/10, reflecting its design for aggressive play. As expected with a diamond shape and high balance, control scored lower at 4.6/10, indicating it requires a precise touch. We attributed it a 7/10 for spin, which is solid for a racket of this type, likely aided by its textured surface. We also noted a difficulty rating of 8.1/10, suggesting it’s best suited for experienced players who can handle its demands. The durability received a 7/10, and its value for money was rated at 5.4/10. Overall, the Canon Carbon Black is a racket built for power hitters looking to dominate from the baseline. Its firm feel and high balance point reward strong swings, though players will need to bring their own control to the court. It’s a specialized tool for those with a competitive mindset. If you've played with this racket, we'd appreciate hearing your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.
Manufacturer's Description
Varlion padel racket for professional level, with a diamond shape that privileges power over control. Manufactured using a bi-directional carbon tubular and a 38MM medium-hardness Hypersoft EVA core, laminated with layers of plain carbon fiber fabric and glass fiber fabric. The heart is reinforced with plain carbon fiber fabric and impregnated in Varlion's exclusive VAR-FLEX epoxy resin, to obtain maximum elasticity and resistance, covered by a layer of titanium dioxide. Its main characteristics are: Wings Diffuser technology in the heart, aerodynamically optimized with a 27% improvement in air passage compared to the previous one, which allows a better control of the racket to direct the ball where the player wants and with more regularity. Includes an adhesive Hexagon bumper. Designed and produced through a low hardness PTU injection mold to absorb bumps and chafing. This protector is fixed on racket frame through an adhesive tape without the need to drill it, which also helps to avoid vibrations. In its latest version we have reduced its weight by 50%; it weights now only 11 grams. 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.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. Cañon, Hexagon frame, Wings Difusor and Adhesive Bumper, are brands and utility models registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, and therefore exclusively owned and used by Varlion.
