Dunlop FX Hybrid Team Padel Racket (2026)

Tennisnuts lists a hybrid head with a 38 mm profile, a graphite main construction with fibreglass reinforcement, a rough graphite surface and a Pro EVA core said to add feel and responsiveness. The named technologies are Force Bridge for frame stability, SpinBoost for spin and Power Holes for accuracy. All three are the maker's claims.

The medium, even balance is what separates it on paper from the head-heavy FX Hybrid, and it should make the racket quicker to bring through at the net and easier on a tired arm.

The Tennisnuts specification lists the level as advanced, while its own description says the racket is built for intermediate players, and our catalogue tags it intermediate. For the face, Tennisnuts says graphite and an earlier seller category says carbon and glass.

Read it as an intermediate racket with some room to grow, and check the listing for the face material if that matters to you. It is the same weight class as most improver rackets, so the balance is the part to care about.

The head-heavy FX Hybrid shares the shape and costs you control for power, while the FX Team is the diamond with an even balance. The FX Lite is the lighter diamond, and the FX Pro is the most head-heavy of the range.
