LOK BE Flow Gen 2 Padel Racket 2026

Padelful and Padel Reference both list a round shape, EVA in the core and fibreglass in the frame and face. Padel Reference gives 365 g, and retailers quote 360 to 375 g, so allow about that range. Padel Reference calls the core Custom EVA, a medium-density foam, in an Asymmetric Heart structure with the Equal Hole System. Both describe a beginner or recreational racket with comfort and control as its job.

Padelful's review rates the feel as medium-soft and scores it 7.1 overall: rebound 9, sweet spot 7.6, manoeuvrability 7.3, control 6.1 and power 5.3. Its pros are the generous sweet spot, easy ball output and comfort off the wall. Its cons are little bite at the net and a muted, soft response.

Shops can't agree on the balance. Padel Reference lists it as neutral and also as handle heavy, others say even, one review site says neutral to slightly low, and one listing says bottom. Nobody says head heavy. Treat it as even to low, which is what you want from a first racket: the weight stays near your hand, the head swings easily, and the racket forgives a mistimed shot.

Surface and frame are also muddled. One retailer lists a rough surface where another says smooth, and one lists a carbon frame where most say fibreglass. At this level it won't change how it plays.

Complete beginners, social players who play once a week, and anyone who wants a comfortable racket that won't punish a mis-hit. It sits with the other rackets on our best padel racket for beginners page and the cheap padel racket list, and its round head puts it in the control padel racket group too.

A tube of padel balls, a spare overgrip from padel grips and a racket protector for the rim will cover most beginners. Court shoes from padel shoes are the one thing worth spending on before the racket, and a padel bag can wait.
