Oxdog Pure Woman Air Padel Racket

Oxdog builds a women's-weight racket in each of its three shapes, and this one sits at the bottom of the scale. The Hyper Woman Air is a 345g teardrop; the Ultimate Woman Air a 350g diamond. The Pure Woman Air drops to 340g and pairs it with a soft foam core rather than the medium foam used in the other two, which makes it the gentlest of the three on contact as well as the lightest in the hand.

That combination, lightest weight plus softest core, suits players who find even the Hyper Woman Air a little firm, or who are coming from tennis and want the racket to absorb the shot rather than push back.

No independent scoring site has tested this exact model yet, so we won't invent numbers. Retailers describe the same thing consistently: a highly forgiving response, comfortable contact and an easy time building longer rallies, the hallmarks of the Pure family's soft-foam build that we've seen on the Pure Court as well.

Softer foam means less free power, the same trade the Pure Court makes at a heavier weight. You won't finish many points with pace alone; you'll win them by keeping the ball in play and waiting for the opening.

Retailers disagree on the balance point. One spec sheet lists it as low, the same page's own description calls it medium, and other retailers lean medium too. We can't resolve it from the sources available, so we're stating the conflict rather than picking a number to sound certain. Either way, it isn't head-heavy; the weight sits close to the handle.

All four Pure rackets we stock share the same hybrid shape; what changes is the foam. The Woman Air and Pure Court both use soft foam, though the Woman Air is 25g lighter. The Pure Tour X steps up to medium foam for more control once your contact is reliable, and the Pure Pro+ is the hard-foam, advanced-level version at 370g. Moving up this list trades forgiveness for precision.

Beginners and social players who want the lightest, most forgiving racket on our Oxdog shelf, smaller or lighter players who find 365g rackets tiring, and anyone moving from tennis who wants a soft, comfortable first padel racket. Our women's padel rackets page lines up light rackets from every brand, and best padel racket for beginners covers the level more broadly.

A light racket still needs a fresh grip; the Oxdog Gold Pro overgrips or any padel grip keeps the handle tacky. Fit the Oxdog No1 frame protector early, since new players tend to scrape the frame more than most.

For balls, a tube of Oxdog Boost+ matches the racket, and our padel balls guide covers how long a tube stays lively. Add padel shoes built for sand-filled turf and a padel bag to carry everything. The full padel racket range covers every brand and shape, and the guide to choosing a padel racket explains foam and balance from scratch.
