The Varlion LW Summum Carbon Black offers a balanced feel, particularly noticeable in defensive situations where its round shape and low balance provide good maneuverability. We found it quite effective for precise volleys and maintaining control during rallies. The medium firmness of both the surface and core, alongside its fiberglass surface material, contributes to a comfortable impact, which can be beneficial during longer matches. In our testing, we observed that its strength lies in control, which we rate at 8/10. For power, we attributed it 6.2/10, suggesting that while it can generate pace, its primary focus remains on precision. The textured surface helps with spin, where it scores 6.2/10 in our assessment. The 340-365g weight range and 38mm frame profile make it a reliable choice for competition players looking for an all-rounder with a focus on command over the ball. This model is designed for adult competition players, offering a good blend of technical features for those who prioritize shot placement. It achieves a value for money rating of 5/10 from our team.

Manufacturer's Description
Varlion professional level padel racket with a round shape, designed for players who mainly seek control in their game and who like rackets with a softer touch. 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. The main ones are the next: 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. And 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.
