Pala Oxdog Hyper Pro + 2.0 2026

Technologies

Pros

• ✓At 365g with a high-balance teardrop shape, the head just drops into the smash on its own — you're aiming it, not powering it, and the RBS weight kit lets you add 4g up top or 8g in the throat with the included screwdriver to dial in that balance after purchase, no lead tape needed, while the sandy face bites into the side of the ball on a cross-court vibora and keeps it low off the bounce on a chopped bandeja with less wrist effort, the PowerRibs stiffen the panel that flexes most so response never sags on long rallies — ball exit stays just as fast at 3-0 as deep in the third set — and the fibreglass layered alongside the carbon face rules out the wooden, dead feel you'd expect from a Medium+ EVA core this firm

Cons

• ✗On a deep wall exit the head-heavy balance bites back — mistime your setup and the lob falls short, and trying to correct with wrist alone just sends it straight down the middle, the sweet spot is high and clearly defined but shots toward the lower frame bleed pace fast and come off feeling harsh, the fixed 365g with no weight range plus a Medium+ EVA core loads up the arm over time — risky if you're already carrying elbow or shoulder niggles — and this power-oriented, advanced-level profile leaves baseline grinders exposed, since the racket demands more arm than it gives back in extended rallies

365g fixed, a high-balance teardrop shape, sandpaper face — the Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 2026 doesn't hide behind a middle ground. Carbon with a fibreglass layer and HES-Carbon reinforcement, an EVA Medium+ core, and a stainless-steel RBS interchangeable weight system add up to a padel racket built to finish points.

Why this racket accelerates on its own once you load it overhead

There's no weight range here: 365g, full stop. That number, paired with a high balance and a teardrop shape that piles mass into the upper third of the face, explains most of this racket's personality.

Inertia does the work on the way down. On a smash by 3, the head drops with its own momentum and all you have to do is steer it; on a flat smash toward the back glass, ball exit comes off tighter than the feel at contact would suggest.

The EVA Medium+ core rounds out the package. This isn't a soft foam that swallows the impact and returns the ball slowly — it compresses very little, reacts fast, and tells you exactly where on the face you made contact. In exchange, it demands technique that's already dialed in.

HES-Carbon and PowerRibs: stiffness where it counts, ball exit where you feel it

The face blends carbon and fibreglass with HES-Carbon treatment. The fibreglass adds a touch of give that keeps the wooden, dead-board feel away, while the carbon holds the response together once a shot arrives at full pace.

PowerRibs run across the face and stiffen the zone that flexes most under a heavy hit. On court, that means a response that doesn't sag through long points — ball exit is just as fast at 1-0 as it is at 40 minutes into the match.

Vibradamp handles what's left over. Off-centre hits toward the sweet spot's core still let you know about it — this is a firm racket — but the vibration dies out before it reaches the elbow.

The sandy surface adds the final piece: real grip to work the ball. On a cross-court vibora, the rough texture lets you bite into the side of the ball and pull it out of the court with less wrist effort. On a chopped bandeja, it helps keep the ball low after the bounce.

What level of player is the Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 2026 built for?

It's built for advanced players with settled technique and an aggressive net game. The high balance, fixed 365g, and EVA Medium+ core reward whoever attacks with a loose arm and punish anyone who arrives late to the ball. An intermediate player will find it unforgiving on defence.

RBS: the 4 grams that let you rewrite the balance yourself

The most useful detail on this Oxdog racket isn't on the face — it's the RBS system. The racket ships with interchangeable stainless-steel weights and the screwdriver to fit them: 4g in the head or 8g in the throat.

On court, that's effectively two rackets in one:

1. **With the 4g up in the head**, the high balance gets even more pronounced and the smash gains depth — the choice for a player who lives at the net and just wants to close out points.
2. **With the 8g in the throat**, total weight climbs but the balance point drops, and the racket turns noticeably more manoeuvrable for blocking and reflex volleys.
3. **With no added weights**, you get the stock behaviour: clear power with more control than you'd expect for the category.

Few rackets in this power segment let you retune their character after you've already bought them — and here it takes no lead tape, no glue.

Where it costs you: defence and balls that arrive late

Honesty first. A high-balance teardrop with a firm-ish core and 365g on the scale is never going to be a comfortable racket below the waist.

On a deep wall exit, if you haven't set up the shot early, the head-heavy balance shows and the lob comes up short. The typical fix — correcting with the wrist — backfires with this racket and sends the ball straight down the middle.

The sweet spot isn't generous either. It sits exactly where it should — high, close to the smash zone — but it's a defined area: shots toward the lower frame bleed noticeable pace and come back feeling harsh.

And a physical warning worth flagging: the combination of a high fixed weight and a Medium+ core loads up the arm over time. If you're carrying elbow or shoulder issues, this isn't your racket.

Verdict: a finisher's racket, not an all-rounder

The Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 2026 has one clear job and does it well: deliver power and clean ball exit for a player who already knows how to hit, with enough control to keep the smash by 3 from sailing past the back glass.

It shines especially on the backhand side of the court, for the player who steps up to smash and closes out points with vibora. As a doubles pairing, it works best alongside a more defensive, round-shaped partner who can sustain the rally while you hunt the point.

Don't buy this one if your game is built on grinding from the baseline, if your level is still developing, or if you value comfort over pop. For everyone else, it's an attacking racket with an uncommon extra: the ability to fine-tune its balance without leaving the house.
