Oxdog Ultimate Pro Plus (Pro+) 2026 Padel Racket

Padelful's praise is all about the front of the court: huge power on smashes and aggressive volleys, high control at pace with a direct, predictable response, and a solid, stable feel on every contact. Getting 9.4 for control alongside that power is what sets it apart from a plain hitting stick.

It also says plainly what you need: good technique and physical condition to handle the head-heavy balance and hard feel, and patience in defence, because it gives little help from the back on passive or slow balls. Handling is 7.7, the lowest of Oxdog's carbon rackets we list. In short, it rewards the player who's already good and exposes the one who isn't.

The Ultimate Pro is the same diamond in HES Carbon with a Medium+ foam and 5 g less. Padelful puts it at 9.2 for power and 9.0 for control, but a touch quicker in the hand (8.0) with a slightly bigger sweet spot (8.6). If you're an attacker who still wants some comfort, or you're not sure your elbow will enjoy a hard core, take the Pro.

Oxdog builds the hard-foam Pro+ in three shapes. The diamond on this page is the attacker's version. The hybrid Pro+ trades 2.3 points of power for the biggest sweet spot in the line, and the Hyper Pro+ 2.0 teardrop sits in between. If you play on the right and build points, the Pure is likely the better racket even at an advanced level.

Padelful names its player exactly: attack-minded left-side players, or right-side players with a clearly offensive style who like to take charge at the net. That's who we'd sell it to. It belongs on our diamond padel racket and advanced padel rackets pages and nowhere near the beginner shelf.

A head-heavy hard racket twists in a slippery hand, so change the overgrip often; Oxdog Gold Pro overgrips or anything from our padel grips range. The Oxdog No1 frame protector saves the rim on low volleys, which diamonds clip more than any other shape.

Fresh balls make the most of a racket that gives little free depth from the back; try a tube of Oxdog Boost+ or anything on our padel balls page. Add padel shoes with a herringbone sole and a padel bag, and browse every padel racket or read how to choose a padel racket if you're still comparing.
