Waiting for Black Friday? We'll let you know as soon as the price drops.
Colour/edition variant of the Kombat Etna 2026 (Manu Martín): technically identical (same shape, same Black EVA core, same frame), just a different look.
The figure shown is the total price incl. VAT, shipping and discount code; the shop price without extras is shown below it. The price at the shop may have changed since. Shop links are affiliate links (ads) – this costs you nothing extra. We only compare shops we work with; other shops may be cheaper.
Difference from the Kombat Etna 2026 (Manu Martín): The data is thin here: Kombat itself does not use model years at all, only a reference “2425” and alongside it “2.5” versions – the years 2025 and 2026 are only assigned by the shops. Whether two different rackets are behind the two offers cannot be determined from the manufacturer's information. The 2026 model currently costs €180.90, around €63 more.

Balanced diamond shape from the Manu Martín range with an even split between power and control. A solid mid-field model in the Vulkan collection for players who don't want extremes in either direction.
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 Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 7 and control 7 out of 10, it is evenly geared towards power and precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 2.6 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 56% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the Kombat Etna (Manu Martín) in our comparison, this is the cheapest (€117.90). 2 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €117.90 to €131.10 – a €13 difference for the same model.

Last updated: November 2026 · How we rate
Our classification: Intermediate. Its forgiveness is 2.6 out of 10 – uncompromising, only for consistent hitters.
The Kombat Etna 2025 (Manu Martín) weighs 365 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a medium-hard core (Black EVA). The frame is made of Carbon 12K.
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 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.
