The LOK Carbon Flow Gen 2 is a round racket with a Top balance and a 360 to 375 g body, labelled Advanced by the brand. On paper it gives medium control, medium power and a medium sweet spot. The catch: comfort and maneuverability both read low, and no review exists yet to confirm any of it.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 10 November 2026Choose it if
- you are an advanced player who wants a round head but can handle a heavy, head-heavy build
- you like a steady, medium-power racket and prefer to add pace with your own swing
- you want the same carbon and core as the Carbon Hype Gen 2 but with a round shape that reads medium on control and sweet spot
Skip it if
- your elbow or shoulder is sensitive, because comfort reads low here, and the Oxdog Sense Pro Classics reads low on comfort too
- you want fast hands at the net, since the specs point to low maneuverability
- you want raw attacking power, where the diamond-shaped LOK Carbon Hype Gen 2 reads high on power
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper this is a round, heavy, head-heavy racket, and the readings below come from specs alone.
- Control Medium, because the round shape and the core help, while the Top balance pulls it back a little.
- Power Medium, as the carbon face and weight add pace but the round head holds it in check.
- Comfort Low, since the weight and the head-heavy balance send more shock to your arm.
- Handling Low, because a heavy frame with weight toward the head is slower to swing and turn.
- Forgiveness Medium, helped by the round shape, though the head size is not published.

The LOK Carbon Flow Gen 2 and the Carbon Hype Gen 2 share the same core and the same carbon face. They also share the same 360 to 375 g weight range. They differ mainly in the shape of the head. No review of the Flow exists yet, so everything here comes from the specs.
Round or diamond: what the shape changes between two LOK Carbon Gen 2 rackets
Both rackets list C6 carbon on a Memory EVA rubber core. Both are 38 mm thick, Top balance, Advanced level. The LOK Carbon Hype Gen 2 is a diamond. This one is round.
That single change moves the readings a lot. The diamond reads low on control and low on sweet spot, but high on power. The round Flow reads medium on all three. So you give up some power and gain control and sweet spot on paper.
Top balance, 360 to 375 g: why a round head still reads Low on maneuverability
A round head is usually quick to swing. Here it is not enough. The weight range is heavy, and the balance is labelled Top, which means weight sits toward the head.
What do you notice? A heavy, head-heavy racket is slower to swing and turn. That is the price of the weight sitting high.
The brand does not publish the balance in mm. So Top is a label, not a measurement. Two rackets with the same label can still sit differently in your hand.
C6 carbon over Memory EVA: what your arm is asked to take
The face is C6 carbon. The core is Memory EVA rubber, which the readings class as medium. That core raises comfort a little. The heavy build and head-heavy balance lower it more, so the final reading is low.
The product page claims stepped layers called Gradual Face reduce vibration. Treat that as the brand's claim. Nothing here tests it. If your arm already complains, a heavy racket like this is a risk. A good warm-up helps, but it does not change the build.
The frame is listed as carbon by a retailer. The length is 455 mm, per the brand.
Advanced on the label, Medium on the meters: who this racket suits
The brand labels it Advanced. The meters say medium for control and power. That is not a contradiction. The weight and balance suggest a racket that wants solid technique and a fit arm.
It suits you if you already hit with a full, controlled swing and want a round head under it. Not a racket to learn on.
Carbon Flow Gen 2, Maxx Flow Gen 2 Bea Caldera or Ionic Power 26: three round builds with a Top or High balance
The LOK Maxx Flow Gen 2 Bea Caldera shares the shape, core, weight range and Top balance. It uses a C18 carbon face and is labelled Professional, with Bea Caldera named as the player. Its meters match this racket, but its level label is a step higher.
The Bullpadel Ionic Power 26 is also round with a High balance and a 365 to 375 g weight. It uses MultiEVA and a Glaphite face. Its meters match too, yet it is labelled Beginner to Intermediate, a very different level from the Advanced label here.
So the meters do not separate these three. The level label, the face material and your own arm do.
Balance in mm, head size, handle: what the brand does not publish
Three things are missing. The balance in mm is not published. The head size in cm2 is not published. The weight system is not published either. The handle field in the listing is unusable.
That matters. Head size changes the sweet spot, and balance in mm changes how heavy the head feels. Until a review or a shop measurement appears, treat the medium sweet spot reading as an estimate from the round shape alone.

Questions before you buy
Is the LOK Carbon Flow Gen 2 a beginner racket?
No. The brand labels it Advanced, and the heavy 360 to 375 g body with a Top balance asks for good technique and a fit arm.
How is it different from the Carbon Hype Gen 2?
Core, face, weight, thickness and balance label match. The Flow is round and reads medium on control and sweet spot. The Hype is a diamond and reads high on power but low on control.
Is it hard on the arm?
On paper, yes. Comfort reads low because of the weight and head-heavy balance. No reviewer has tested it yet, so this is an estimate from the specs.
Is the head size published?
No. The head size and the balance in mm are both not published, so the sweet spot reading rests on the round shape.
