The short answer

The Explorer Pro Attack 2.0 is a teardrop racket of 360 to 370 g. It has a 269 mm balance, a hard EVA core and a 24K carbon face. On paper it leans on power and asks a lot of your arm. No reviews exist yet, so this is a read of the specs. Head size and thickness are not published.

By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026

Choose it if

- you are an intermediate or advanced player who attacks and wants power from the specs
- you like a heavy racket that holds its line through contact and your arm is healthy
- you want the racket Lucas Campagnolo plays and are fine with a firm, low-comfort build

Skip it if

- your elbow or shoulder complains after long sessions; look at the Drop Shot Explorer Soft W, which is listed with High comfort
- you hit off-centre often and want a larger forgiving zone; the Drop Shot Explorer Pro Attack Soft is listed with a Medium sweet spot
- you want a quicker racket at the net; the Drop Shot Explorer Pro Comfort 2.0 is round and listed with Medium maneuverability

## How it plays

7.6

**padell.io score 7.6** Play 8.3 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low. [How the score works](https://padell.io/how-we-score/)

- **Control**: 7.0 around average●
- **Power**: 8.5 above average▲
- **Comfort**: 2.0 below average▼
- **Handling**: 4.5 around average●
- **Forgiveness**: 5.0 around average●
- **Line = the average of all rackets**: ▲ above ▼ below

On paper this is a firm, heavy attacking racket, and no reviewer has tested it yet.

- **Control** Medium, helped by the teardrop shape and the stiff carbon face, but not a racket built mainly for placement.
- **Power** High, driven by the hard EVA core, the carbon face and the weight.
- **Comfort** Low, because a hard core, a stiff face and a heavy frame all send more vibration to your arm.
- **Handling** Low, as the weight slows the racket down even though the balance is not extreme.
- **Forgiveness** Low, so you need to find the middle of the face more often.

2026 · This racket · € 159.95

The line lists one earlier racket, the Explorer Pro Attack 1.5. Both are Medium-High balance teardrops with Lucas Campagnolo as the pro player. The faces are listed as 24K Twill Carbon on the 1.5 and 24K carbon on the 2.0. The core is listed as EVA Pro rubber on the 1.5 and EVA Pro High Density on the 2.0. No measured difference is recorded, so these may be different words for the same parts. The year of the 1.5 is not published. If you already own the 1.5, the sheet gives no clear reason to expect a different racket. If you are choosing between them, look at how each is described by the seller and ask for the exact specs.

Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night.

The name says 2.0, but the sheet tells a quieter story. Shape, balance label and pro player all match the older 1.5, so this page works from the specs and says plainly where they run out.

## What 2.0 means when the 1.5 reads almost the same

The only predecessor in the line is the [Explorer Pro Attack 1.5](https://padell.io/rackets/drop-shot/explorer-pro-attack-1-5/). It is listed as a Medium-High balance teardrop with a 24K Twill Carbon face and Lucas Campagnolo as the pro player. The 2.0 has the same balance label, the same shape and the same player.

The core is where the labels differ. The 1.5 lists a core called EVA Pro rubber. The 2.0 lists EVA Pro High Density. That could be a real change or just a new name for the same foam. Nothing in the data tells the two apart, so treat it as a changed label, not a proven change.

## Control, comfort and power, says a product page: the meters read Low comfort

The product page text promises control, comfort and power in every shot. But it describes a version based on the Explorer Pro Attack 2.0. That version adds a softer rubber, a more elastic feel and better vibration absorption that protects the arm. So that copy appears to describe a softer variant built on the 2.0, not the 2.0 itself. Treat it as a marketing claim about a different racket.

It does not sit well with the 2.0's listed specs either. A high density EVA core and a stiff 24K carbon face usually point to a firm racket. The comfort meter here reads Low, and both of those parts pull it down. Until a reviewer has played the 2.0, trust the listed core over soft-feel wording.

## Hard EVA under 24K carbon: where High power comes from, and why the sweet spot stays Low

Power is the clearest strength on paper. A hard core and a stiff carbon face return the ball fast. The [teardrop shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) adds to it, and the weight helps too. You get speed on smashes and on drives you hit with a full swing.

The cost is the sweet spot. The hard core is the main reason it reads Low. A stiff racket gives less help when you miss the centre of the face, and the ball comes off shorter or harsher. The teardrop shape raises the sweet spot meter a little, but not enough to lift it.

What can you do? Work on clean contact. Or pick a softer sibling such as the [Explorer Pro Attack Soft](https://padell.io/rackets/drop-shot/explorer-pro-attack-soft/). It lists a softer EVA core and a Medium sweet spot.

## 360 to 370 g at 269 mm: what the teardrop asks of your arm

The brand lists 360 to 370 g. That is heavy. A heavy racket carries momentum into the ball. But it tires your shoulder and elbow sooner, and it is slower to bring around when you are late.

The balance is 269 mm, which the brand labels Medium-High. It raises control and keeps the racket from feeling extremely top-heavy, but it does not cancel the weight. The maneuverability meter still reads Low.

The brand lists the level as Intermediate / Advanced. Read that as a real condition. This racket suits a player with sound technique and a healthy arm. It is not a gentle first racket.

## Campagnolo's racket next to the Blitz Attack, the Furia Attack and the Explorer Pro Attack Soft

Lucas Campagnolo is listed as the pro player for this exact model, and he is listed as playing on the right.

Several Drop Shot rackets share this profile. The [Blitz Attack](https://padell.io/rackets/drop-shot/blitz-attack/) is a 2025 teardrop with the same [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/), balance label and level, and the same five meter readings. Its face is listed as 24K Twill Carbon. The [Furia Attack 1.0](https://padell.io/rackets/drop-shot/furia-attack-1-0/) has the same readings with an 18K Textreme Carbon face. The listed differences between these rackets are small, so the choice may come down to how they feel in your hands.

The Explorer Pro Attack Soft is the one that really differs. It lists a soft, low density core and a 12K face, and its sweet spot reads Medium.

## Head size, thickness, handle: what Drop Shot does not publish

Several key specs are missing. Head size, thickness, handle details and the weight system are not published. Without them you cannot judge how large the hitting area is or how the grip will sit in your hand. Guessing would be wrong. If you can, hold one before you decide.

## Questions before you buy

**Is the Explorer Pro Attack 2.0 very different from the 1.5?**

Not on paper. Shape, balance label and pro player match. Only the core and face labels read differently, and no measured difference is recorded.

**Is it a comfortable racket for a sore arm?**

The specs say no. The hard EVA core, stiff carbon face and heavy build all lower comfort. Product page text talks about vibration absorption, but it seems to describe a softer variant, and the listed parts do not support it for this racket.

**What level is it for?**

Drop Shot lists it for Intermediate / Advanced players. At 360 to 370 g with a Low sweet spot, it asks for good technique and a strong arm.

**How does it compare with the Blitz Attack?**

The Blitz Attack lists the same weight range, balance label, level and meter readings. The main listed difference is the core and face naming, so compare how they feel in your hand.

**Is the Explorer Pro Attack 2.0 worth the money right now?**

Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours.

**Who should not buy it?**

Skip it if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 2.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.0/10).

**How heavy is it really?**

The brand gives 360 to 370 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range.
