Black Crown Win Ultralight Padel Racket (2025)

At 280 to 300 g this racket is 55 to 90 g lighter than a standard adult racket like the Win Carbon. That is the whole point. It swings quickly, tires the arm less over a long session and lets you get set late without feeling clumsy. Padelful scores manoeuvrability at 7.1 and highlights control, comfort and a forgiving sweet spot.

The trade is power, which scores 5.4. A light racket has little mass to put behind a smash, and the review says power is secondary to control. The rebound score of 8.9 shows the soft core still returns the ball, but you will do the work with your arm, not the racket.

Most retailers list 280 to 300 g, Padelgids says 290 to 305 g and one South African shop says about 300 g. Our own listing carries no weight at all, so we use the retailer range and suggest you treat it as a guide. The heavier Win Carbon is 355 to 370 g, and even the Piton Junior is listed at 310 to 330 g.

Shape and balance are disputed. Most listings call the head round, Padelful says tear, and balance is low on some pages and even on another. None gives a figure in millimetres.

Players who want to hit hard, strong players and anyone who prefers a racket that feels planted against fast balls. A very light racket gets pushed around by heavy hitting. If you want a first racket at a normal weight, our beginner padel rackets page has options, and the cheap padel racket page compares prices. A heavier soft round racket from the same brand is the Win Global. A heavier soft starter is the Enebe Astra, and the Enebe Point Light is a soft alternative with a disputed weight.

A racket protector adds a few grams, which you will notice on a racket this light, so fit one deliberately. Choose an overgrip from the padel grips range, use consistent padel balls, wear proper padel shoes and carry it in a padel bag.
