Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 Padel Racket

Same shape, same HES Carbon face, different heart. The Pro+ uses Oxdog's hard foam and weighs 370 g; the Pro uses Medium+ foam at 365 g. On Padelful's 2026 scores that difference shows exactly where you'd expect: the Pro+ is ahead on control (9.5 against 9.1) and power (8.6 against 8.2), while the Pro hands more back on rebound (8.6 against 8.0) and is quicker in the hand (8.7 against 7.9).

Choose the Pro+ if you hit the ball cleanly and want it to go precisely where you meant, including when you're under pressure at the net. The Pro is the better buy for a player who wants a little help with depth and a lighter-feeling head. Only the Pro+ is on our shelves at the moment.

Firm is the first impression, and it stays that way. Padelful describes a head-leaning teardrop with a very clear bias towards control first and aggression second, and the scores back it: 9.5 for control is among the highest of any carbon teardrop we list. Placement from the back of the court is precise, the racket holds steady when you're stretched at the net, and a well-struck smash goes through the court rather than up off it. Padel Racket Reviews named it its power pick for 2026, which tells you the punch is real once you supply the swing.

The hard foam has a cost. Slow balls need you to accelerate through them, and a defensive player who relies on the racket for depth will find it demanding. If you like a soft, cushioned strike, this isn't your racket. It's a little slower in the hand than the Pro, too, so very fast volley exchanges reward early preparation.

Oxdog's naming is unusually logical once you see it laid out. The family gives you the shape: Ultimate is the diamond, Hyper the teardrop (Oxdog calls it a drop shape) and Pure the hybrid in between. The tier gives you the feel: Pro+ is hard foam at 370 g, Pro is Medium+ foam, Tour X a medium foam with a medium balance, Court the soft entry version (the Ultimate Court is the diamond one, the Pure Court the forgiving hybrid) and Woman Air the 345 to 350 g light edition with a slimmer handle. The 2027 Ultimate Pro Light adds a 350 g diamond for players who want the Ultimate shape in a lighter frame.

So the Hyper Pro+ is the hardest teardrop. Its diamond cousin is the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+, its hybrid cousin the Pure Pro+, and if you want the Hyper shape in a lighter frame, the Hyper Woman Air is the one.

Oxdog fits an 8 g weight in the butt cap of the handle on most of its rackets, which it calls RBS. Left in, it keeps some mass at your hand and the head feels quicker. Unscrew it and the racket loses 8 g with the balance moving towards the head, which adds power to the smash and takes a little speed out of fast volleys.

Try a full session each way before you decide, and don't lose the screw. It's the sort of part that vanishes into a kit bag forever.

Yes if you're an advanced player, or a strong intermediate with a clean, committed swing, who wants a teardrop that rewards precision. It suits players who build points from the back and finish at the net. Our advanced padel rackets page explains the level, and teardrop padel rackets compares the shape across brands.

Keep the handle dry and tacky with the Oxdog Gold Pro overgrips or anything from our padel grips range; on a hard racket, a slipping grip costs you the precision you paid for. Protect the frame with the Oxdog No1 frame protector, or see every racket protector.

For balls, a tube of Oxdog Boost+ keeps it in the family, and our padel balls guide explains how long a tube stays lively. The Oxdog X Pro Thermo bag has a thermal compartment for carbon rackets, or browse every padel bag. Finish with padel shoes that grip sand-filled turf.
