The black version of the Megamax is technically identical to the green and silver variants. The round head shape and low balance provide a large sweet spot and easy handling. The graphite frame, fibreglass face and Pro EVA core damp vibrations and give a soft feel on contact, and the 38 mm frame thickness keeps control and comfort in balance.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 4 and control 7 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 9.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 78% of the round models in our comparison. Right now only Smash-Expert stocks this model, at €85.58 – out of 21 shops in our comparison.

Our classification: Beginner. Its forgiveness is 9.6 out of 10 – very forgiving, large sweet spot.
The Dunlop Megamax Black weighs 365 g and has a round shape, a low (manoeuvrable) balance and a soft core (EVA Pro). The frame is made of Graphit + Fiberglas.
Not by our rule: 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
On 14/11/2026, Smash-Expert was the only shop in our comparison stocking the Dunlop Megamax Black, at €85.58 including shipping. We check prices daily; the current ones are at the top of this page.
