Find your racket
Adidas
An older Adipower for experienced attackers who prefer a firm response. Its higher hitting area rewards prepared overheads, but defending low balls takes more care. Check the delivered price against newer options.
Adidas
A diamond racket with sliding weights for players who want to adjust the balance. The longer handle adds grip space. Finding your preferred setup takes time, so it suits someone willing to experiment.
Adidas
A lighter attacking option with a diamond shape and weight toward the head. Worth a look if you want less base weight without moving to a round control racket. Its sweet spot still sits higher on the face.
Adidas
A diamond Cross IT with a 6K carbon face and EVA Soft Performance core. The head-heavy balance asks for early preparation. Compare it with the Light if getting the racket into position is your priority.
Adidas
A lighter Cross IT to consider for defence and quick exchanges at the net. Its round shape and even balance suit a handling-first shortlist. Try your finishing shots too before choosing it over a heavier racket.
Adidas
A round Cross IT with a fibreglass face and longer handle for improving control players. Adidas lists a head-heavy balance, so check its handling on quick blocks before choosing it as your first racket.
Adidas
A straightforward first racket with a round head, fibreglass face and soft EVA core. Check the 360–375 g weight range before buying. Compare its delivered price with the older Drive 3.4.
Adidas
A first-racket option with fibreglass faces, soft EVA and an Allround head. The standard weight and slight head bias are worth comparing with the round Drive before choosing your first Adidas.
Adidas
A soft-core starter racket sold as the lighter Match option. Confirm the weight of the one you are buying: published ranges disagree. It is worth comparing if the standard Match feels too heavy.
Adidas
A lively attacking Metalbone with removable weights. It suits players who like help generating pace, but the rebound needs managing on blocks and short volleys. Compare the HRD+ if you prefer a firmer response.
Adidas
A fixed-weight Metalbone for players who like a higher contact area and an extended handle. Worth a look for attacking play, but check your defensive timing before moving from a round racket.
Adidas
A round Metalbone for players who build points through placement and want to adjust the setup. The rebound can feel lively, so check short blocks and volleys if you normally use a firmer racket.
Adidas
The firmer Metalbone for experienced players who swing through their overheads and want less rebound than the standard version. It still feels lively to some owners, and its high balance can make quick net exchanges demanding.
Adidas
A limited-edition Metalbone with adjustable weights and moulded face texture. Its named core and carbon match the standard 2026 model. Compare their delivered prices and choose the Pro-EDT if you want its finish and design.
Adidas
A round Adidas for learning the game, with a fibreglass face and EVA Soft Performance core. Its 360–375 g range deserves a check if you use a light club racket. Compare the RX with the Drive before paying extra.
Babolat
An even-balanced Air with a CarbonFlex face and a nominal weight of 355 g. Worth comparing if you want an attacking racket without a head-heavy specification. Air Viper changes the face and core, rather than the headline weight.
Babolat
The Air Vertuo pairs a fibreglass face with a 345 g weight target, making it a useful first-racket comparison for players who want less mass. Its published range is 335–355 g. Air Veron adds CarbonFlex and a higher nominal weight.
Babolat
A teardrop Viper with even balance, a 355 g target and a 16K carbon face. Compare it with Air Veron if you want a different hitting response without moving to the heavier, head-heavy Technical Viper.
Babolat
The Bronze version of Babolat's BL.002 Lamborghini collaboration, with a 360 g target and an isometric head. It shares its published construction with Orange. Choose the colour and offer you prefer; there is no verified playing advantage for Bronze.
Babolat
The Orange BL.002 uses the same published construction as Bronze, including a 3K carbon face, Multi-EVA and Koridion in the frame. Compare the two offers and finishes. Orange does not have a verified power or handling advantage.
Babolat
A round Viper for experienced counter-attackers, with a 3K carbon face, X-EVA and a 365 g weight target. Babolat lists it as head-heavy. Check that combination before treating the round head as a promise of easy handling.
Babolat
A head-heavy diamond with a CarbonFlex face, Black EVA and a 360 g target. The Technical Veron is worth comparing if you like an attacking setup but want a different construction from the 370 g, Hard EVA Technical Viper.
Babolat
A 370 g, head-heavy diamond built around 3K carbon, Hard EVA and Carbon Power Layer. Consider the Technical Viper if you already prefer a substantial attacking racket. Compare it with Technical Veron before choosing on power claims alone.
Babolat
The Orange/Black Juan Lebrón Viper combines Hard EVA, 3K carbon and a 370 g target. It is a separate model from standard Technical Viper 3.0. Consider it if you already like a heavier, head-heavy attacking racket.
Babolat
A firm, head-heavy Viper for experienced attackers. The blue FW edition shares the orange version's main published specifications, including 3K carbon, Hard EVA and a 370 g target. Choose the colour and current deal without expecting extra power from the FW name.
Black Crown
A round racket with a 3K carbon face and Super Soft Black EVA. Worth considering for improving players who want a soft response. Its 355–370 g range covers standard weights, so the carbon label should not be mistaken for a hard-feeling racket.
Bullpadel
A straightforward control option with a round head, low balance and SoftEva core. The BP10 EVO 2023 is worth comparing as a first owned racket. At 360–370 g, it suits buyers comfortable with standard weight.
Bullpadel
The Elite W offers a lower weight than the Hack range: 350–360 g, with a hybrid head and Fibrix face. A useful option for experienced players who want to reduce mass without moving to a basic beginner model.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Flow Legend 2027 is a 350–360 g diamond with Fibrix faces, MultiEVA and a roughly 260 mm balance. We favour it for experienced players who want an attacking shape with less static weight than many flagship rackets. Bullpadel also names this exact model Flow 27.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Hack 03 2024 combines Tricarbon, MultiEva and a textured face in an attacking diamond. Reviews and owner comments point to useful control in defence, although opinions on handling vary.
Bullpadel
The standard Hack 04 pairs a diamond head with a 264 mm balance and TriCarbon 18K face. We would shortlist it for experienced attackers who like a firmer response. The Hybrid offers a lower balance at the same published weight.
Bullpadel
The softer-feeling Hack for players who still want a diamond-shaped attacking racket. Its Fibrix face and 360–370 g range distinguish it from the standard model. We would compare it first if the standard Hack feels too firm.
Bullpadel
The Dale Candela edition is for buyers who want Paquito Navarro's artwork and presentation box. Its main published specifications match the standard Hack 04. Compare the price difference before paying extra for the edition.
Bullpadel
A lower-balance Hack with a TriCarbon 18K face and 365–375 g weight range. The 2025 Hybrid is worth comparing when you like substantial racket weight without as much head weight. The 2026 version changes the face material.
Bullpadel
The 2026 Hybrid has an aluminized A-18K face and a lower balance than the diamond Hack. Both weigh 365–375 g. Shortlist the Hybrid when you want less head weight and Bullpadel's softer feel classification, especially for defence and controlled placement.
Bullpadel
The Premier edition gives the diamond Hack a White/Silver finish and tournament details. Its main construction specifications match the standard 2026 model. Buy it because you want that edition; there is no verified extra-power claim to justify a premium.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Hack 05 2027 combines a diamond head, Tricarbon 18K and MultiEVA with a roughly 265 mm balance. We recommend it to technically confident attackers who prefer a medium-firm hit. It is a demanding choice to make solely for the promise of more smash power.
Bullpadel
A diamond-shaped Hack for juniors who already play regularly. It weighs 335–345 g and uses a 35 mm profile, fibreglass face and Evalastic core. We would compare lighter beginner models first for a smaller child starting the game.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Icon 2025 is a 370–375 g diamond racket with X-Tend Carbon 12K faces, MultiEva and an approximately 260 mm balance. We favour it for experienced players who want a substantial racket for attacking placement. Clean contact matters more than the signature on the face.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Icon 2027 is a 370–375 g diamond racket with a roughly 263 mm balance, 12K carbon faces and MultiEVA. We favour it for experienced players who like a substantial racket for attacking volleys and overheads, while preferring a medium feel to an especially hard response.
Bullpadel
The Icon 2026 is a diamond racket with a 370–375 g range, 12K carbon face and MultiEva core. We would shortlist it for experienced players who like substantial weight and want to compare Bullpadel's intermediate feel with the firmer Hack.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Icon Cloud 2025 pairs a diamond head with a soft CloudEva core and ElasticFiber fibreglass faces. We see it as a softer-contact option for experienced players who still want a substantial attacking racket. Its 370 g nominal weight and roughly 265 mm balance deserve as much attention as the Cloud name.
Bullpadel
The round, low-balance Ionic for players who build points through placement. It shares the Power's Glaphite face, MultiEva core and 365–375 g range. Choose CTRL for the shape and balance; choose Light if reducing weight is your priority.
Bullpadel
The lighter Ionic, at 350–360 g, with a hybrid head and medium balance. A useful option for club players who want less weight for a full match. It keeps the Glaphite face and MultiEva core used across the Ionic range.
Bullpadel
A diamond-shaped Ionic with high balance for players developing an attacking game. Glaphite and MultiEva give it the same main materials as CTRL, with more emphasis on head weight. Its 365–375 g range deserves attention if your current racket already feels heavy.
Bullpadel
The K2 Power combines a diamond head and high balance with a fibreglass face and SoftEva core. Worth comparing for an improving player who wants an attacking shape with softer materials. Its 360–370 g range is standard weight.
Bullpadel
A firm control option for experienced players, with a hybrid head, 255 mm balance and 3K carbon face. The Neuron 02 weighs 365–375 g. Choose it if you like a dry response on blocks and controlled volleys.
Bullpadel
The Premier Padel edition of the hybrid Neuron, with a 3K carbon face and MultiEva core. A choice for experienced players who want a firm control setup and prefer this finish. Compare the price with the standard Neuron before paying extra.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Neuron Cloud 2025 combines a hybrid head with Elastic Fiber and CloudEva. Bullpadel lists a nominal 365 g weight and approximately 250 mm balance.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Nitro Control 2027 is a round, soft-feel racket built from Polyglass faces, SoftEva and a carbon frame. We favour it for developing players who want help with defensive depth and are choosing for steady placement rather than a firm attacking response.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Nitro Woman 2027 is a round racket with Polyglass fibreglass faces, SoftEva and a 360–370 g weight range. We recommend it to developing players who prefer a softer response for building depth and consistency. The Woman name does not mean it is lighter than Nitro Control.
Bullpadel
A diamond racket with a Fibrix face and 355–365 g range. The Pearl gives experienced attackers a lower-weight comparison with the standard Hack or Vertex. Its high balance still matters if you prefer a racket that feels light towards the head.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Pearl 2027 is a diamond racket with Fibrix faces, MultiEVA and a 355–365 g weight range. We favour it for experienced attackers who want a medium response in a lighter package than the heaviest Bullpadel models. Its roughly 260 mm balance still gives it an attacking brief.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Pearl Cloud 2025 combines a diamond head with ElasticFiber and CloudEva for softer contact. Its published weight range is 355–365 g.
Bullpadel
The standard Vertex 04 2025 pairs a diamond head and high balance with Xtend Carbon 12K and MultiEva. Worth comparing for an experienced attacker who likes head weight. Its 365–375 g range needs to suit you before a discount becomes useful.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Mexico 2024 combines the tournament design with a diamond head, Xtend Carbon 12K and MultiEva. Bullpadel specifies intermediate touch, so its attacking shape should not be read as a promise of an extremely hard feel.
Bullpadel
A diamond Vertex for experienced all-court players, with 12K carbon, MultiEva and an intermediate feel classification. The 365–375 g range matches Vertex 04. The 2026 changes are in the frame and heart design, so an upgrade should depend on how you like the response.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 2027 is a diamond racket with a medium feel, 12K carbon faces and a roughly 255 mm balance. We see it as the middle choice within this Vertex group: more all-court in brief than Geo, with more attacking emphasis than Hybrid.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Geo 2027 uses Bullpadel's geometric head, a 3K carbon face and a medium-firm response. We favour it for experienced players who want a more attacking Vertex option while keeping a broad all-court brief. Its listed balance is about 260 mm and weight is 365–375 g.
Bullpadel
The GEO changes the standard Vertex's shape, face and balance: a geometric head, 3K carbon and about 260 mm. Its weight stays at 365–375 g. Worth comparing for experienced attackers who prefer a broader hitting surface and a higher balance.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Vertex 05 Hybrid 2027 puts a hybrid head and roughly 250 mm balance around 12K carbon and MultiEVA. We recommend it to experienced players who like a substantial racket but want a more control-led Vertex choice. It still weighs 365–375 g.
Bullpadel
A 335–345 g diamond racket for juniors who already play confidently. The 35 mm profile, Polyglass face and Evalastic core differ from the adult Vertex. Choose it for a developing player's fit and preparation speed, not the professional model's appearance alone.
Bullpadel
The Bullpadel Wonder 2027 combines a hybrid head, roughly 250 mm balance and 350–360 g weight range. We recommend it to experienced players who prioritise quick preparation and placement. Its Fibrix face and MultiEVA core have a medium stated feel, so light weight should not be confused with very soft contact.
Bullpadel
A lighter hybrid option at 350–360 g, with a Fibrix face, MultiEva core and an intermediate feel. Wonder adds ExoFrame reinforcement and a subtle textured finish. Worth comparing if you want less total weight without moving to a junior or beginner racket.
Bullpadel
The standard Xplo pairs a geometric head and 265 mm balance with a 12K carbon face and MultiEva. At 365–375 g, it is worth considering for experienced attackers who like weight towards the head. Xplo Comfort is a separate model.
Head
A first-racket option with an oversized teardrop head, fibreglass face and soft feel. HEAD lists 352 g and a 265 mm balance. Bolt suits beginners and casual club players who want a straightforward racket while they learn what they prefer.
Head
The lighter of the Coello Pro and Motion models: 360 g nominal, with a diamond head, 268 mm balance and Carbon Hybrid face. Motion is still an attacking racket with a hard feel. Compare it when you want less weight than Pro.
HEAD
The HEAD Coello Pro 2026 is a 370 g diamond racket with a 272 mm balance, Carbon Hybrid face and Power Foam. We favour it for experienced attacking players who already handle a substantial, head-heavy racket well. Its power potential depends on keeping that weight moving fast enough.
Head
A softer Coello option with a diamond head, fibreglass face and Power Foam. Team is 360 g nominal with a 270 mm balance, so it keeps an attacking setup. Compare it with Motion when feel matters more than reducing weight.
HEAD
The HEAD Coello Vibe 2025 is a fibreglass racket with an oversized teardrop head, Power Foam and a 355 g nominal weight. We would shortlist it for a first racket or regular club play when you want softer contact. It has a different construction and purpose from Coello Pro.
HEAD
The HEAD Coello Vibe 2026 is a soft, fibreglass racket for beginners and casual players. Its oversized teardrop head and Power Foam distinguish it from the smaller diamond Coello models. HEAD currently lists 356 g and a 272 mm balance.
Head
A 350 g beginner option with a teardrop head, fibreglass face and Soft Foam. Evo Extreme is worth comparing if you want a softer racket with less total weight. Reference 226415 is HEAD's 2025 model, also sold under 2026 labels.
HEAD
The HEAD Extreme Motion 2026 pairs a 360 g nominal weight with a diamond head and high balance. Our fit assessment favours players who attack through quick volleys and controlled overheads.
Head
A 350 g attacking racket with a diamond head, 272 mm balance and a hard feel. Extreme One uses a 12K carbon face with one hole and an Extreme Spin finish. Its lower weight does not make it a beginner model.
Head
The heavier one-hole Extreme for experienced attackers. One X is 370 g nominal, with a diamond head, 270 mm balance and 12K carbon face. Choose it when you prefer more mass than the 350 g Extreme One and like a hard feel.
Head
A 370 g attacking racket with a diamond head and 270 mm balance. Extreme Pro 2025 combines Power Foam, a unidirectional carbon layer and Extreme Spin texture. It suits experienced players who want a substantial racket and can prepare it early.
Head
The softer Extreme diamond: 360 g nominal, a 265 mm balance, fibreglass face and Power Foam. Team is worth comparing if you are developing an attacking game and prefer a soft contact. It is 10 g lighter than Extreme Pro on the published figures.
Head
The lighter Radical for experienced players: 355 g nominal, a teardrop head and a 260 mm balance. Double Carbon and Control Foam give it a hard feel classification. Compare Motion with Pro when you want the Radical setup with 15 g less nominal weight.
Head
A substantial control-focused racket at 370 g nominal. Radical Pro has a teardrop head, 260 mm balance, Double Carbon face and Control Foam. Choose it when you prefer a firm response and more mass than Motion, without moving to a high-balance diamond.
Head
The soft-feeling Radical for players who build points through placement. Team combines a fibreglass face, Control Foam and a teardrop head at 360 g nominal. Its 255 mm balance is lower than Motion's, although Team weighs 5 g more.
Head
A 310 g junior racket with an oversized teardrop head, fibreglass face and Power Foam. Speed Junior is aimed at competitive young players moving beyond a small starter racket. It has a full 38 mm thickness, so check the child's handling before choosing it.
HEAD
The HEAD Vibe Blue/Yellow 2026 is a 350 g teardrop racket with a fibreglass face and Power Foam. We favour it for beginners and casual players who want a softer response and a modest starting weight. This is standard Vibe, separate from Coello Vibe.
HEAD
The HEAD Vibe Grey/Black 2025 is a 350 g fibreglass racket with an oversized teardrop head and Power Foam. We see it as a straightforward first-racket option for club players who prefer soft contact. The correct colour is Grey/Black, despite the Grey/White wording in the retailer URL.
Nox
The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2024 is a teardrop racket with a medium balance and a multilayer MLD Black EVA core. We favour it for players who build points across the whole court and want a middle-ground feel. It is the standard AT10, with a different handling brief from the diamond-shaped Attack.
Nox
The teardrop AT10 for experienced players who want an all-court option. The 2026 18K Alum uses MLD Black EVA, a Dual Spin face and adjustable weights, with a published 360–375 g range. Compare it with the diamond-shaped Attack before choosing the more attacking setup.
Nox
The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Buenos Aires 2026 is the event edition built on the 2026 AT10 platform. It combines a teardrop head and MLD Black EVA with Dual Spin and adjustable Weight Balance. We favour it for AT10 players who want the Buenos Aires design and a setup they can tune.

Nox
The NOX AT10 Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM 2026 is a high-balance diamond with HR3 Black EVA and a medium-firm response. We recommend it to experienced players who want their racket choice to favour attacking volleys and overheads, and who can manage the extra demand in defence.
Nox
The diamond-shaped AT10 for experienced attackers who prefer a high balance. The 2026 Attack pairs 18K Alum carbon with MLD Black EVA, Dual Spin texture and adjustable weights. NOX classifies its touch as intermediate; the Attack name does not mean the hardest feel.
Nox
A round junior racket with a shorter grip, 30 mm profile and 300–325 g range. The AT10 JR uses fibreglass and soft HR3 White EVA. It suits children learning the game who can handle this weight comfortably through a session.

An ultra-light Genius for players who want quick handling and a very comfortable impact.
Nox
The firmer Equation for intermediate players who prefer a round head. It uses a fibreglass face, HR3 Hard EVA and Exclusive Spin texture, with a 355–365 g range. Compare it with Soft if your current racket feels too springy on blocks and volleys.
Nox
The NOX Equation Hard Advanced 2027 is a round control racket with HR3 Hard EVA, a carbon frame and 3K fibreglass faces. We recommend it to improving players who prefer firmer feedback while keeping a centred hitting area. Its 355–365 g range is lighter than many flagship NOX models.

A round carbon-face option for experienced players who build points through placement. ML10 Ventus uses 3K carbon, HR3 Color EVA and Dual Spin at 360–375 g. NOX rates its feel as medium, making it a useful comparison with the firmer VK10.

Nox
A 2025 attacking option with a diamond head, 12K carbon face and HR3 Color EVA. Quantum Carbon is listed at 360–375 g with a high balance. It is worth comparing with Nerbo + if you already prefer a firmer, head-heavy racket.
Nox
The NOX Quantum Cobalt 12K 2025 combines a teardrop head, medium balance and HR3 Color EVA with a 12K carbon face. We see it as an all-court alternative for players who want a medium response and a textured face without automatically choosing an AT10.

A firmer alternative to ML10 Ventus, with a round head, 12K carbon face and MLD Black EVA. NOX classifies VK10's feel as medium-firm. Its 360–375 g range suits experienced players who are comfortable with this weight and prefer firmer feedback.
Nox
A soft, round racket with a fibreglass face and low balance. X-Aura suits beginners and improving players who can manage its listed 360–375 g range. Compare X-Hero first if a lighter racket is your main reason for shopping.
NOX
The NOX X-Auro 2026 is a round racket with fibreglass, HR3 EVA and a low-balance label. It is a sensible beginner candidate if a 360–375 g racket is comfortable to handle.

Nox
The NOX X-Hero Blue 2026 is the blue colour option of this round beginner racket. It uses the same 350–360 g specification, 3K fibreglass faces and HR3 White EVA as the Red version. We favour it for players building consistent blocks, lobs and volleys.
Nox
The NOX X-Hero Red 2026 is a round, soft-feel racket with 3K fibreglass faces, a carbon frame and HR3 White EVA. We recommend it as a straightforward beginner shortlist choice, particularly when manageable weight and easy depth matter more than a firm attacking response.
Nox
A round first-racket option with a soft HR3 core, fibreglass face and sand texture. Standard X-One weighs 360–375 g, so compare X-Hero if you want less weight. Check that the offer is standard X-One; Silhouette is a separate, lighter model.

Siux
Royal Blue pairs the Diablo Pro's 24K TeXtreme face with medium balance and a medium-firm feel. It belongs on an experienced player's shortlist for a teardrop racket. The 355–375 g range and published construction match Night Blue; colour does not establish a playing difference.
Siux

StarVie
A round, low-balance racket with a fibreglass face and soft S-EVA Flex core. StarVie lists Arkos at 358 g ±8 g, making it worth comparing for a first racket. Its textured surface and carbon frame add features without changing that beginner focus.
StarVie

The StarVie Shade 2027 is a round beginner racket with low balance, Aluminized X-Glass and soft S-EVA Flex. We recommend it to players who want an accessible response for learning placement and depth. Its 350–370 g range deserves a real weight check before purchase.
StarVie
The StarVie Tritón Balance+ 2027 combines a diamond head and 18K Carbon Hybrid with medium-firm M-EVA Balance. We recommend it as the first Tritón Plus to compare if you want a more yielding core than Power+. Its official weight is 358 g ±8 g.
StarVie
The power variant of StarVie's Triton line, with a carbon face and a firm, attack-oriented format.
StarVie
The StarVie Tritón Power+ 2027 is a high-balance diamond with an 18K Carbon Hybrid face and hard H-EVA Power core. We favour it for advanced players who already like firm contact and can create racket-head speed. Its official weight is 358 g ±8 g.
StarVie
The StarVie Tritón T-One 2027 is Tamara Icardo's signature diamond, with medium balance, 18K Carbon Hybrid and M-EVA Balance. We favour it for experienced players who want attacking shape without the high-balance brief of Tritón Power+. Its published weight range is 347–366 g.
Wilson
Bela LS V3 is the lighter Bela at 355 g nominal, with a hybrid head, ComfortFlex carbon face and soft foam core. It is worth comparing if the 370 g Pro feels too substantial. Both carry the Bela name, but their construction differs.
Wilson
Bela Pro V3 is the firm, 370 g nominal Bela, with a hybrid head, 24K carbon face and high-density Power Foam. It suits experienced players who already want that setup. Compare Bela LS if you prefer a lighter, softer racket.
Wilson
The standard Blade V4 uses a carbon/fibreglass face over Firm EVA, with a teardrop head and 365 g nominal weight. It belongs on an intermediate player's shortlist if they want a firm core. Do not confuse its composite face with the Blade Pro.
Wilson
Defy Pro V1 is a diamond-shaped, 370 g racket with a 15K carbon face and firm Power Foam. It suits experienced attackers who already like a substantial setup. Compare Bela Pro for a hybrid head at the same nominal weight and published balance point.
Wilson
The Lilac Optix Lite is a round beginner racket with a listed 355 g weight, fibreglass face and soft Core Foam. Its 14 cm handle is useful to compare if you use two hands on the backhand. White has the same published construction.
Wilson
Optix Lite White combines a round head with soft Core Foam and a fibreglass face at a listed 355 g. Put it on a first-racket shortlist if that weight suits you. The Lilac version has the same specifications, so compare their current offers.
Wilson
Optix Power Blue is a teardrop racket with a fibreglass face and soft Core Foam, listed at 360 g. It suits recreational players who prefer that shape to the round Lite. The Power name does not mean a hard, heavy racket for advanced players only.
Wilson
The Red Optix Power offers a teardrop head, soft Core Foam and a fibreglass face at a listed 360 g. Compare it with Lite if you are choosing a first or recreational racket. Blue has the same construction; pick the colour and current offer you prefer.
Sweet spot in the centre, easiest to control and the most forgiving on off-centre hits.
A middle ground: usable comfort with more punch than a round frame when you accelerate.
Sweet spot near the tip for maximum power, at the cost of forgiveness and arm comfort.
