Our impression
Round all-rounder for beginners to lower-intermediate players: frame made of equal parts carbon and fibreglass over an EVA Core Foam core – balanced between power and control.
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; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 5 and control 7 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.5 out of 10, it is easy-going, even though 68% of the round models in our comparison leave even more margin for error. Right now only PadelXpert stocks this model, at €66.95 – out of 21 shops in our comparison.
