Joma Slam Pro Iconic Padel Racket 2026

Joma's page lists a tear shape, 350 to 360 g, a high balance, a 3k carbon frame, a Flexo Black EVA core with a medium-hard feel and a 40% control, 60% power split. It names Joma 3D Spin, Aerobump Tech, Carbon 3K and Flexo BlackEVA as the technologies, and rates the racket for a high, professional level, as a competition racket for players who want complete performance in every phase.

Tennis Nuts agrees on the numbers, and disagrees on the labels: it lists a hybrid head, calls the core medium-firm, and puts the level at intermediate to advanced. It also lists technologies Joma's own page doesn't, so we've stuck to Joma's. Joma's blog calls its Iconic models soft-cored, which doesn't match its product page, and we've gone with the product page.

Put the Slam Pro Iconic next to the Blast Pro SFT and the Hyper Pro SFT and the spec sheets read alike: 350 to 360 g, high balance, 40/60 control and power. What differs is the shape, the carbon grade and the core's feel. The Slam has 3K carbon where the others have 12K, and a medium-hard core where the Blast is soft.

In practice that points to a firm, responsive racket without the premium material, which suits a player who values a lively feel more than the last bit of stiffness.

Competitive club players, strong intermediates stepping up, and anyone who wants Joma's attacking feel without paying for 12K carbon. It sits naturally among our teardrop and hybrid rackets, and a strong intermediate can compare it on the intermediate padel racket list. The full padel racket range is the place to compare it with other brands.

Fit a racket protector before the first match, carry a spare overgrip from padel grips, and use a fresh tube of padel balls so the medium-hard core has something lively to work with. Court shoes from padel shoes and a padel bag with a racket compartment complete the setup.
