Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026 Padel Racket

Padelful's three strengths sum it up: a huge, forgiving sweet spot, a very manoeuvrable head, and a stable, predictable response when you're off-centre. Control (8.4) and rebound (8.5) sit in the same comfortable band. It's a racket you stop noticing after a set, which is a compliment.

The weaknesses are what you'd expect from a control racket. There's limited free power, the smash needs proper technique, and heavy balls from a big hitter make you work with your legs. Padelful sums up its player as someone who likes to feel in charge of the rally rather than end it in one shot.

Oxdog's Pure range climbs by foam. The softer Pure Court is the beginner's racket, with a 9.6 sweet spot but only 5.9 for power. The Pure Pro+ uses hard foam and 370 g for 9.6 control. The Tour X sits between them, and for most club players it's the one that fits longest: enough forgiveness to keep you in rallies, enough control to place the ball once you can.

Side by side on Padelful, the Tour X gains 1.4 points of control and 1.3 of power over the Court, gives up 0.3 on the sweet spot and 0.7 on rebound, and handles almost identically. In practice that means the Court does more of the work for a new player, and the Tour X gives a better player more say over where the ball goes. If you've played a year and your contact is reliable, buy the Tour X.

Oxdog sells the Pure family as its hybrid shape. Padelful's spec box lists the Tour X as round, and its review text calls the frame fibreglass where the spec box says carbon. Oxdog's own page gives a carbon frame and an HES Carbon 8K face, so that's what we list.

Weekly players from improver to strong intermediate who win by consistency: right-side players, lobbers, anyone who'd rather be in a long rally than gamble on a smash. Our intermediate padel racket guide puts it among the consistency picks, and the control padel racket hub has round alternatives from other brands.

Fit the Oxdog No1 frame protector and keep the handle fresh with Oxdog Gold Pro overgrips or another from our padel grips range.

Control rackets lean on a ball with life in it; a tube of Oxdog Boost+ or anything on our padel balls page works. Add padel shoes with a herringbone sole and the Oxdog X Padel Bag to carry it all, or see every padel bag. The full padel racket range and our guide on how to choose a padel racket cover the rest if you're still deciding.
