Prince Tital Ultra Light

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The Super EVA Soft core inside a 38 mm frame sends the ball back without needing to swing hard: a defensive lob from the back of the court lands deep with just half an arm and minimal wrist speed At 300-330g with an even balance, net reactions are instant; you get to low cross-court volleys and quick grip changes without ever feeling like you're dragging the racket The rough SHOT SPIN texture on the Power Flex Fiber face bites just enough that a cut bandeja starts to break away toward the back glass instead of skidding flat The teardrop's wide sweet spot keeps the ball alive on off-centre contact, a real help while you're still learning to read the bounce off the back wall Flexible glass fiber plus a soft EVA core filter out a good chunk of impact vibration on mishits, meaning less punishment on elbow and shoulder through long sessions

Cons

• ✗The power ceiling shows up early: on a flat smash from mid-court hit for the sidewall, the racket doesn't help you out and your arm has to supply all the acceleration itself The flexible face and soft core deform a lot on fast contact; blocking a volley against a hard-hit ball tends to sail long unless you close the racket face With an even balance on a 300-330g frame, there's not enough weight up front for a proper vibora: the shot comes out fast, but without the mass to drive the ball down into the court The muted feel gives you little feedback on exactly where you made contact, so correcting your technique with this racket takes longer than with a crisper, more direct-feeling frame

The Prince Tital Ultra Light is built for beginner players looking for an easy-to-handle, forgiving racket. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. With a weight of 300-330g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.

With a weight range starting at 300 grams, the Prince Tital Ultra Light (2023) heads in the opposite direction from the heavy diamond rackets dominating shop windows: teardrop shape, even balance, Power Flex Fiber glass-fiber face, Super EVA Soft core and a 38 mm frame. Every design choice pushes toward the same goal — getting the racket to do the work your arm can't yet.

Power Flex Fiber over Super EVA Soft: the recipe behind that easy ball exit

Glass fiber is considerably more flexible than carbon, and that flex is exactly the point. On contact, the Power Flex Fiber face compresses a few tenths of a millimetre, stores energy, and releases it as the ball leaves the strings. That's where this padel racket's standout trait comes from: a remarkably generous ball exit, to the point that a defensive lob from the back of the court reaches the opposite baseline off half a swing.

The Super EVA Soft core amplifies the effect. A soft EVA takes longer to spring back than a firm one, so the ball stays on the face a fraction longer and leaves with a slightly higher, less driven trajectory. For a beginner, that translates into the ball clearing the net even when contact wasn't perfect.

The trade-off shows up in feel. There's no crisp response or that short, sharp crack of a stiff frame — what reaches your hand is a cushioned, harder-to-read strike.

Who is the Prince Tital Ultra Light really built for?

It's aimed at beginners and junior players. Its 300-330g weight, even balance and Super EVA Soft core cut down the effort needed to simply get the ball in play and ease the load on elbow and shoulder. A mid-to-upper level player will hit its power ceiling within a few sessions.

Shot by shot: where it shines and where it falls short

Defense and off-the-back-wall play. This is where the racket makes the most sense. With so little weight, the wrist turns quickly and you reach balls that a noticeably heavier racket would miss; the teardrop's wide sweet spot keeps the ball alive on off-centre contact, which happens often while you're still learning to judge the bounce off the glass.

Volley. Net reactions are instant, letting you adjust mid-shot. The catch: against a fast, well-struck ball, the flexible face and soft core give back more pace than expected, and a block volley tends to sail long unless you close the face.

Bandeja. It comes out comfortably, precisely because of what costs it on the smash — low mass, a light swing and a ball that naturally kicks back deep. This is the shot that best matches this racket to a learning curve.

Vibora and smash. This is its weak ground. The even balance lacks the front-end weight to nail a short vibora, and on a flat smash aimed at the sidewall, all the pace has to come from the player — the racket transmits, it doesn't multiply.

Can a beginner racket actually generate spin? What SHOT SPIN brings to the table

Yes, with caveats. The rough SHOT SPIN surface on the face grips the ball just enough for lift to start showing up, and for a cut bandeja to bounce and break away toward the back glass instead of skidding flat.

That texture carries real teaching value: since a beginner isn't yet generating racket-head speed, much of the spin depends on the surface's grip. Without that roughness, early attempts at kick spin simply wouldn't take.

What it won't do is compensate for an incomplete swing. However much spin you get will still scale with how much acceleration you generate from low to high.

Who should buy it (and who should look elsewhere)

1. **Absolute beginners.** You need the ball to clear the net while you're still building your swing; this Prince model makes that easy from day one.
2. **Junior players.** The lighter weight and 38 mm frame make it manageable for a smaller arm without forcing bad technique.
3. **Anyone nursing elbow issues.** The flexible glass fiber and soft core cushion off-centre impact far better than a stiff carbon frame.
4. **Mid-to-upper level players: skip it.** The power ceiling and lack of mass on the vibora become obvious as soon as you start looking to finish points from the net.

The ideal doubles partner for this racket is someone of a similar level with an unhurried rhythm. Against fast, hard-hit balls, this racket calls for a game plan built around lobs, patience and bandejas — not sudden changes of pace.

Verdict: a learning tool first, a point-finishing racket second

The Prince Tital Ultra Light does exactly what it's built to do: make contact easier, forgive mishits, and go easy on your arm. Its 300-330g weight, Power Flex Fiber face and Super EVA Soft core add up to a coherent package for a player's first year in padel.

The trade-off needs to be accepted upfront. This is a racket with a short shelf life: once your smash develops and you start looking to finish points for the sidewall, it'll hold you back, and you'll need to move up to a heavier model with a firmer core. Buying it knowing that is a sound decision; expecting real power from it down the line is not.
