Our impression
A top-class all-rounder: several test sites rate the model between 8.3 and 9.4/10 (including Best Padel Life 9.4, PadelRacketReviews 93/100, PadelVerdict 8.3) and name it the top pro racket of 2026, because it spreads its abilities across the whole court instead of focusing only on maximum smash power.
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 Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 8 and control 8 out of 10, it is evenly geared towards power and precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 4.9 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 77% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. 6 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €184.41 to €258 – a €74 difference for the same model.
