Pallap Power Velocity Elite 01 Padel Racket

If you've seen both names and assumed they're the same racket, they're not. The Pallap Power Elite belongs to a separate Power family with its own build (EVA 28 foam, a Rocksolid 24K carbon face, and a score from an independent reviewer). This racket, the Power Velocity Elite 01, belongs to Pallap's Velocity family instead, with a different face grade and no independent review we could find.

Both are diamonds pitched at a similar level, which is exactly why the names get confused. If you're choosing between them, the Power Elite has the stronger paper trail: a full set of expert scores against this racket's spec-sheet-only listing.

A brand-background piece on Pallap's US launch explains the split plainly: Power Velocity is the diamond, built for speed and attack; Control Velocity is the teardrop, built to balance speed with control for both ends of the court. Most of the Velocity rackets we stock, the Velocity Elite, Velocity Star and Velocity Team Light, are the teardrop Control Velocity line, and this Power Velocity Elite 01 is the diamond Power Velocity line. The 2025 Velocity Pro is the awkward one: a UK retailer lists it as a diamond, Padelreference as a teardrop.

So the shape, not the tier name, is what tells you which line a Velocity racket belongs to.

The face is a 12K basalt-carbon weave (one retailer listing names it 15K instead, a conflict we can't resolve), over an EVA 28 foam core that one source describes as a touch softer than the one used on the Velocity Pro, which also runs about 5g heavier. The frame is Carbon-Kevlar, reinforced with the same Rocksolid bridge stabiliser named on several other Pallap rackets, including the unrelated Power Elite and Evoforce Pro, which makes it a genuine brand-wide technology rather than something unique to this model.

One retailer's manufacturing note, unconfirmed elsewhere, says the carbon is made in Italy and the foam in Spain.

Advanced players who want a diamond's attacking power from Pallap's Velocity range specifically, rather than its separate Power line. Our diamond padel rackets page sets it against Bullpadel, Oxdog and Varlion's diamonds, including Pallap's own Power Elite for comparison.
