LOK MAXX Flow Gen 2 Padel Racket 2026

RacketGuide lists the MAXX Flow Gen 2 as a round racket with a medium balance, a 38 mm carbon frame, a textured, hard 18K carbon surface and a medium Memory EVA core at 360 to 375 g, and marks the information as verified by LOK. Its technologies are an asymmetrical core, C18 carbon, Gradual Face, a Vibration Groove and 3D Spin Lines.

Padelful agrees on the round shape, the weight, the carbon frame and the C18 face, and calls the feel medium-hard. The two sources differ only in what they describe: RacketGuide gives the core's firmness and Padelful gives the whole racket's feel. Neither lists a level.

Padelful scores it at 9.1 for control, 8.9 for sweet spot, 8.4 for power and manoeuvrability and 7.5 for rebound, 8.5 overall. It praises a huge sweet spot, a stable and predictable response and sharp volleys and blocks. It warns of limited easy power, extra effort needed in defence and a low ball exit.

Next to the diamond MAXX Hype, the same site scores the Flow nine points lower on power, level on control and rebound, and clearly higher on manoeuvrability and sweet spot. That's the round racket's usual trade, and in this case it's a good one if you value placement over pace.

Technical club players who defend patiently, build points from the baseline and want a reliable racket at the net. It belongs on our control padel racket page, among the advanced padel rackets for anyone who wants control over power, and with the other carbon padel rackets.

A hard 18K surface doesn't forgive knocks, so fit a racket protector and carry it in a padel bag with a racket compartment. A spare overgrip from padel grips, fresh padel balls and good padel shoes round out the kit.
