Just wondering, for those of you at an intermediate+ level, when you've found the perfect racket, do you feel the need to buy a second identical one?

In tennis, I remember having three, but that's just a matter of stringing, so it makes sense to have that many.

But in padel...?!

Nox and Bullpadel presented their 2026 collection in September 2025.

The new 2027 collection will logically be released in a month.

I'm really curious to see what Nox has in store for us!

Will they improve their manufacturing quality? Will they reduce the weight of their rackets a bit, like Head did in 2026?

Oxdog too! My wish is that they offer Hyper Pro and Ultimate models weighing less than 360 grams.

Good evening,

In your opinion, what is the lightest weight one could hope to find for an Oxdog Hyper Pro 2026 and Hyper Pro+ 2026? Weighing it with the plastic of the handle , wrist strap, and RBS plate included.

thank you

Today, I played with the Hyper Pro 2.0 2026, without the RBS plate, 264g with an overgrip.

I found it completely different from my old racket, the Hyper Pro 2025, which weighed over 375g without the rbs plate .

And to be honest, if I had to rank the three rackets, it would come first after the Coello Motion, then the LeBron Soft in third place.

Pleasantly surprised by the Oxdog; it just goes to show that 10g makes a huge difference.

I played for over 4 hours today with no elbow pain.

Very happy with this purchase!

A racket that cushions the ball?! It's magic! It's as if the blocks on fast balls are made by rackets that completely absorb the shock, and the lobs are executed with millimeter precision on sliced ​​balls practically glued to the ground. It's impressive to see these professionals play with such ease!

Could someone recommend an excellent place for a 4-5 day workshop in Paris? I'm going on holiday and wanted to take advantage of the time to improve my skills.

I'm not looking for ball-throwing coaching, but coaches who could really make a difference.

thank you so much

What will we get this time? Just new makeup? A makeover?

I'm really wondering what the latest thing we'll get will be!

Good evening.
Have you tried dropshot rackets?

And who could tell us more about them? Which one is similar to, for example, a Babolat Viper Soft, Oxdog Hyper Pro, or Coello Motion?

What is their build quality like? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these rackets?

Which one would be the best choice for an advanced intermediate player, and ideally lightweight (less than 360g) with a racket protector and overgrip?

Thank you.

Intensive training with a ball machine—over 150 balls; it’s no easy task! 🤣😜

I started playing padel five months ago, but I gave up tennis over 25 years ago and hadn't stepped foot on a court since then. 😅😅

Feel free to share any tips you might have.

I always start with a baseline drill,
then volleys,
then *bandejas* and *viboras*.

And in a few days, I’ll figure out how to calibrate the machine for double-glass defense and 360-
