Set Padel Black Wolf Padel Racket 2025

SET's own page calls it an oversize mixed shape at 355 to 365 g with a hard EVA core and a 100% 3K carbon construction, for advanced and professional players. Padel Shack, whose listing Stringers World repeats, calls it a hybrid at 350 to 370 g with an even balance, a 38 mm frame, a 100% carbon frame and an EVA Hard core. RacketGuide calls it an oversized teardrop at 360 to 375 g with a high balance, a hard 12K carbon surface and a carbon frame.

The core and the weight agree to within a few grams. The shape name, the balance and the carbon grade don't, and 3K against 12K is the sort of difference that sits in how a number is quoted. We'd read it as an oversized hybrid with a balance between even and high, which is where most hybrids sit.

We found no independent scores, so this is read from the specs and SET's own wording. A hard EVA core and a hard carbon surface store little energy at low speed and return a lot at high speed, which is why such rackets feel dead on a soft touch and lively on a full swing. SET's own rating of 100% power and 80% control agrees with that.

An oversize head helps a little with the sweet spot, and a balance leaning to the head helps the smash. If you swing fast and hit the middle of the face most of the time, you get power and a stable response. If you don't, you get a harsh racket.

Advanced club players who attack from the net and the back, finish with the smash and want a firm racket that adds pace. It belongs among the advanced padel rackets and on our teardrop and hybrid rackets page, with the other carbon padel rackets. For other brands, start at padel racket.

A racket protector matters on a hard carbon frame, and a spare overgrip from padel grips keeps the handle tacky. Fresh padel balls, proper padel shoes and a padel bag with a racket compartment complete the kit, and the matching Black Wolf bag is an option.
