Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 Padel Racket

Padelful's strengths read like a net player's shopping list: a huge sweet spot, precise blocks and volleys, and a clean ball exit. Handling is 8.5, quick for a 370 g racket with hard foam.

The cost shows in the weaknesses. It needs a full swing to get the ball deep, it doesn't give much easy pace, and it punishes rushed contact. In Padelful's words it suits players who value control, stability and a big margin for clean striking. That's a polite way of saying a lazy swing will land short.

Oxdog builds its Pro+ three ways, all at 370 g with hard foam and HES Carbon. The Hyper Pro+ 2.0 is the teardrop: 8.6 for power, 9.5 control, 9.0 sweet spot. The Ultimate Pro+ is the diamond: 9.8 for power but the smallest sweet spot of the three at 8.4. The Pure sits at the control end of that line, with the least power and the most forgiveness.

Our take: pick the Pure if you build points and defend, the Hyper if you want an all-court racket with a bit of punch, and the Ultimate only if you finish everything overhead.

Oxdog's Pure family is its hybrid, between the Hyper teardrop and the Ultimate diamond, and Oxdog describes the Pure Pro+ with a high balance. Padelful's spec box lists the shape as round and calls the balance sensible. Neither publishes a balance in millimetres, so we'll measure one when stock arrives. What both agree on is the feel: steady at the net rather than whippy.

Advanced players with a long, clean swing: right-side players, defenders who like to counter, and volleyers who want the ball to go exactly where they point. It sits on our control padel racket page for that reason, and our advanced padel rackets hub sets it against Bullpadel and Nox at the same level.

A hard racket feels harsher with a worn grip, so change the overgrip often; Oxdog Gold Pro overgrips or anything from our padel grips range will do. The Oxdog No1 frame protector keeps the carbon rim safe on low volleys.

Fresh, lively balls matter with a racket that gives little free pace; a tube of Oxdog Boost+ or anything on our padel balls page works. Add padel shoes with a herringbone sole and Oxdog's own two-racket bag, or any padel bag with a thermal pocket.
