Oxdog Hyper Tour X 2.0

The product page calls the Hyper Tour X 2.0 the most all-round racket in its series. Next to the two High-balance Pro siblings, the specs do point that way. It is calmer than the Pro 2.0 and the Pro+ 2.0.

The all-rounder of the series, says the product page: how it compares with the Pros

The product page claims a mix of power and control. Treat that as marketing. What the specs show is clearer. The Oxdog Hyper Pro 2.0 has High balance, High power and Low comfort. This racket has Medium balance, High control and Medium comfort. Same teardrop shape, same weight of 365 g, different character.

So "all-rounder" here means less extreme, not more of everything. padel.how describes it as a match for intermediate and advanced all-court players who defend first, not as a power tool. If your game is built on patience and placement, that is the right way round.

Medium balance where the Pros go High: why control rises and power settles at Medium

Balance decides where the weight sits. Oxdog lists this racket as Medium. The Pros are High, which pushes weight towards the head. That helps smashes and costs you control and comfort.

With medium balance, the racket is easier to place and steadier on defence. The carbon face is listed as HES Carbon 8K, and the core as Medium. One retailer lists the frame as HES Carbon and another gives a thickness of 38 mm, so treat those two as shop information. Power lands at Medium, partly because the tester found the ceiling lower than on the Pro variants. The product page mentions PowerRibs on the frame and a rigid, reactive carbon. Those are brand claims, and the one court test rated power neutral.

What padel.how found: easy defence, a forgiving sweet spot, a lower power ceiling

padel.how played it and gave 79 out of 100. It praised easy defensive depth and maneuverability, and a large sweet spot for intermediates. Its one downside was a power ceiling below the Pro variants. It rates control, comfort and sweet spot as positive and power as neutral.

Note one thing. The tester calls it easy to manoeuvre. The specs suggest otherwise, since 365 g is heavy. Treat that as a difference of opinion, and judge it by your own wrist.

365 g with the 8 g RBS weight: what you can adjust and what stays heavy

Oxdog lists the weight at 365 g, with no range. Its RBS system uses an 8 g weight in the end cap that comes off with a screw. The product page says it lets you adjust balance and weight. Taking it out should change how the racket swings. How much, Oxdog does not say.

So the effect on weight and balance is unknown. Not every player will want to fiddle with a screwdriver, but the option is there, and the box reportedly includes the tool. If you like to experiment, that is a small bonus. If you want a light racket, look elsewhere.

Hyper Tour X 2.0 next to the StarVie Astrum+ and the Dunlop Infinity Pro G1 HL

The StarVie Astrum+ is also a teardrop with Medium balance and High control. It lists 350 to 370 g, and its maneuverability is Medium against Low here. It is the better fit if the weight bothers you.

The Dunlop Infinity Pro G1 HL Black is similar on paper, at 360 to 375 g. Its comfort is Low against Medium for the Oxdog. If your arm is sensitive, that gap matters.

Balance in mm, head size, handle: what Oxdog does not publish

Three specs are missing. Balance in mm is not published, only the label Medium. Head size and handle are not published either. These shape the feel of a racket more than most buyers expect. Until they appear, treat the Medium balance as a category, not a number. Try the racket first if you can.
