In our testing, we found the Vantage Pro S to offer a balanced on-court experience.

Manufacturer's Description
The Vantage series is an offensive series for players who like to finish balls. For players who like to go to the net, smash balls out of the cage and win matches by outplaying the opponent. The Vantage Pro S is the step up from the Motion Pro, a similar feel in the hit but the sweet spot is a little tighter and sits a little higher. You get the same nice hit but with a little more power in the blows. One of the items players are asking for today is a lightweight rack with a lower balance. Motion Pro therefore has exactly that configuration. With a weight of around 350 grams and a balance of around 255 mm, the racket feels easy to swing and flexible, which means that you can better maintain the same level throughout the match without tiring your arm. Motion Pro has extra holes compared to standard, a total of 70 holes. It has also been chosen to distribute the holes evenly over the surface so that you get as big a sweetspot as possible. The holes soften the surface and leaving parts of the racket without holes will lead todifferent feeling depending on where the ball hits. A lot of holes also have other advantages, the holes with their sharp edges provide good help with the spin. A lot of holes also means a reduction in weight, which made it possible to reinforce with extra material in vulnerable places. This padel rack has a longer grip, which has proven to be in demand among many players today, partly for those who like double grip backhand partly for those who simply like the feel of a longer shaft. However, the length including frame protection is within the scope ofwhat is allowed in competition. Now you can easily change the wristband without having to remove the knob. Here you can easily choose one own design or switch between Vidar's different bands. That way, you never have to play with a broken one either or worn strap. In addition to the extra spin you get via the hole formation, this padel rack comes with structure in the surface. The lines that go diagonally across the surface of the racket together with the holes gives all the spin you could want. The Vantage Pro S comes with a 3K surface and a medium hard core. The idea with this padel rack was to create enough power to be able to kick the ball out of the cage without losing the feeling in the placed balls.
