Joma Hyper Pro HRD Vero Virseda Padel Racket 2026

Tennis Nuts lists a diamond head, a high, head-heavy balance, a 12K carbon face, a 100% carbon tubular frame with Joma's Dualtech Frame, a rough 3D Spin surface and a 38 mm profile. The core is Black EVA, and the shop's FAQ explains HRD as the hard, high-density version. It lists the racket as advanced level with a power focus, and its staff review calls it best suited to advanced or strong intermediate players.

Weight is quoted two ways on the same page: 360 to 370 g in the details and 350 to 360 g in the table. Both meet at 360 g, so we say 350 to 370 g. Reviewers add that the head-heavy balance makes it feel heavier than the number once you swing it.

Joma's 2026 line has several rackets with similar names, and listings muddle them. This page is the Hyper Pro HRD with the Vero Virseda name. The black and beige Hyper Pro HRD is listed without a player name, and we hold a separate Hyper Pro HRD Premier Padel Valladolid P2 edition. One search summary notes that reviews of the Virseda version describe the same specs as the HRD platform, though we couldn't confirm that from Joma, so treat them as the same racket in different artwork until Joma says otherwise.

Don't mix it up with the Hyper 3.0 Vero Virseda, which is a different model, quoted at 350 to 360 g. And the Hyper Pro SFT is the softer-cored version of this one, with a medium-hard core per Joma.

Advanced players who attack from the net, finish with the smash and want the racket to add pace rather than soak it up. If that's you, our diamond padel racket page explains the shape, and the advanced padel rackets list puts this one beside its rivals. The wider padel racket range covers everything else.

A strong intermediate who has moved up from a hybrid can try it, but a soft hybrid is easier to learn on and forgives a late contact.

A head-heavy diamond benefits from a fresh overgrip, so keep a spare from padel grips in the bag, and a racket protector on the rim helps the frame survive wall contact. Use a firm, new ball from padel balls, because a hard core and a flat ball are an unhappy pair. Court shoes from padel shoes matter more with a racket that rewards explosive movement.
