One tester called the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 stable and broad in the sweet spot. Yet the spec sheet describes a hard, 370 g, high-balance hybrid that on paper rewards a precise hitter more than a forgiving one. Both things can be true. Stable is not the same as soft.
A stable face and a broad sweet spot: what padel.how found on the Pure Pro+
Padel.how is the only review of this racket so far. It rated it 77 out of 100 and liked the stable face, the broad sweet spot and a firm, predictable response. It marked control and sweet spot as positive, and power and comfort as neutral.
The drawback it named is power that does not come easily, plus little defensive lift. So you have to generate the pace yourself. Its recommended player is an advanced one who wants firm control. That is a narrower group than the brand's own intermediate to advanced label.
All-rounder, says the product page: the meters read Low control and Low comfort
The product page calls it a great all-round racket with a mix of playability, control and power. Treat that as marketing. The meters here tell a different story: High power, but Low control, Low comfort, Low maneuverability and Low sweet spot.
That gap with the tester is useful to know. The meters are built from specs, and a high balance and hard core pull control and sweet spot down. A single tester pulled the other way. With one review, you cannot say which reading will match your own hands.
Hard core under HES Carbon: where High power and Low comfort come from
The core is listed as Hard, and a retailer describes the density as stiff. The face is HES Carbon, which the brand calls reactive and rigid. Add a hybrid shape and a high balance, and the sheet adds up to a racket built to return energy.
The cost is comfort. Hard cores pass more vibration to your arm. The brand lists Vibradamp, four silicone inserts under the grip, to reduce vibration. That is the brand's claim, and no tester measured it. If your arm is sensitive, be careful with this racket.
The surface is described as sandy, which is a rough texture meant to add grip on the ball for spin. Again, that is the brand's wording.
370 g and a removable 8 g weight: what you can and cannot adjust
The weight is listed as 370 g, with no range. That is heavy, and with a high balance you will notice it in long rallies and quick exchanges at the net.
The racket has the RBS, a removable 8 g weight in the butt cap. The brand says it lets you adjust balance and weight to your taste. Taking it out should make the handle end lighter, but the sheet gives no weight figure without it. Balance in mm is not published either, so you cannot calculate the change. Treat it as something to try, not a guaranteed fix for the heaviness.
Pure Pro+ next to the Pure Tour X, the Pure Court and the Hack 04 Hybrid
The same-year Oxdog siblings are softer and lighter. The Pure Tour X 2026 has a Medium core and Medium balance at 365 g, with Medium meters for control, power and comfort. It is the easier choice if the Pure Pro+ sounds like too much.
The Pure Court 2026 goes further. It has a soft core, composite face and Medium balance, with High comfort and Low power. It is aimed at beginner to intermediate players.
Outside the brand, the Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid 25 is also a high-balance hybrid. It has the same 38 mm thickness and a similar weight range of 365 to 375 g. Its control meter is Medium against Low here, though it is rated for professionals.
What Oxdog does not publish for the Pure Pro+
Several key numbers are missing. The balance in mm, head size, frame and handle are not published. The balance is only labelled High. The thickness of 38 mm comes from a retailer, not the brand.
That matters because two high-balance rackets can behave quite differently. Without the number, you cannot compare this one to a racket with a published figure. If you can, hold it before buying.
