[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer A heavy, high-balance diamond for players who already hit hard. The core is Hard and the weight is 370 g, so the racket is built for attack, not forgiveness. padel.how rated it 76 out of 100 and warned about low contact. Not a first racket: the brand itself lists Intermediate / Advanced. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 6 November 2026 Choose it if - you attack from the net and want a stiff, heavy racket behind every smash - you already hit the ball cleanly in the upper part of the face and want spin from a sandy surface - you liked the Ultimate Pro 2025 but wanted a harder core and a little more weight Skip it if - you often defend late off the glass; the Oxdog Ultimate Nxt-Gen 2026 has a soft core and High comfort - your arm is sensitive and you want a lighter frame; the Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light 2026 weighs 350 g - you want a racket that forgives off-centre hits; diamonds with a hard core are generally less forgiving ## How it plays 8.5 **padell.io score 8.5** Play 8.5 (60%) and reviews 8.4 (40%).

The core went from Medium+ to Hard. The surface went from Smooth to Sandy. The weight went from 365 g to 370 g. Face, shape, balance label, level and the RBS weight system are the same. Frame and pro player are unknown for the comparison. The core is the change that matters most on paper: it makes the racket stiffer. If you prefer a softer core, the 2025 model lists Medium+. If you want a firmer attacking racket, this is the one. The Ultimate Pro+ Classics carries identical specs, so it is not a version story, just a similar listing. ## Price history Today **€ 274.34** Lowest in 30 days **€ 274.34** vs 30-day average **-4%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. ## What reviewers say padel.how is the only written test, and it rated the racket 76 out of 100. It found exceptional power when you accelerate fully, heavy volleys and strong spin, but little help on passive balls or low contact. It called comfort and sweet spot neutral. Four video reviews, all played on court, add colour. PADELREVIEW ENG and Fabio Ferro found power and good control, but said it needs a high level of technique, and Fabio Ferro called the sweet spot small. Probando Palas, a partial match, liked the stability and smash power but found it harder to manoeuvre and demanding in defence. Padel FYI disagrees: it found the racket manoeuvrable and short of smash power. The common thread: most sources say the racket asks a lot of you. [**padel.how** 7.6 “At low pace, the Hard foam gives little away. Passive lobs, late glass recoveries and contact below the upper-central sweet spot require clean mechanics.” Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/oxdog-ultimate-pro-plus-2026-review/) Three things changed between the [Oxdog Ultimate Pro 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-2025/) and this Pro+ 2026: a harder core, a sandy surface and a heavier racket. Face, shape, balance label and weight system stayed the same. So the question is simple. What do those changes do to a diamond that already had a High balance label? The Ultimate family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Pro+** [**Pro Smash**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-smash-2026/) [**Pro Light**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-light-2026/) [**Tour X**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-tour-x/) [**Woman Air**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-woman-air/) [**Nxt**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-nxt-gen-2026/) ## Medium+ became Hard: what the core swap does to a heavy diamond The [Ultimate Pro 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-2025/) is listed with a Medium+ core at 365 g. This racket is listed with a Hard core at 370 g. In general, a harder core flexes less, which tends to give a firmer, more direct response. Vibration is a separate question, and the brand adds silicone inserts under the grip. Add the HES Carbon face, a [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and a high balance, and every power driver points the same way. The comfort drivers also point one way, down. Control is mixed: the carbon face and the positive review raise it, the diamond shape and high balance lower it. That is why the meters read High for power and Low for control, comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot. This is not a racket with one weak spot. It is a racket that commits to one job. ## Smooth became Sandy: what the surface change claims and what it proves The brand lists the surface as Sandy now, where the 2025 model was Smooth. [Oxdog](https://padell.io/brands/oxdog/) says the rough texture improves spin on volleys and overheads. One video review agrees that the surface allows great spin. But a texture does not fix timing. Another video reviewer, Fabio Ferro, said it takes a lot of skill to generate spin with this racket. Treat the surface as a tool for players who already brush the ball well, not as a shortcut. ## One written test, four videos: who found power and who did not There is one written test on record, from padel.how, and it rated the racket 76 out of 100. It praised power and directional stability when you fully accelerate, plus heavy, stable volleys with strong spin. Four video reviews were also played on court. PADELREVIEW ENG and Fabio Ferro found a powerful racket that needs technique. Probando Palas liked the power and stability, but it is only a partial match for this racket, and one of its listed cons, "less agile than the standard model", hints at a different version. Padel FYI went the other way. That reviewer called it manoeuvrable at the net and said it lacks power on smashes compared with other diamonds. That video also describes a medium balance, while the brand lists High. When sources disagree like this, the brand's published label is the safer reference for balance. ## Low pace, low contact: the cost of Hard foam in the padel.how test The same test is clear about the downside. It says that at low pace the Hard foam gives little away. Passive lobs, late glass recoveries and contact below the upper-central sweet spot need clean mechanics. In plain terms, you must supply the speed. If you block a slow ball or scoop one off the back glass, the racket adds little. Probando Palas called it demanding for defensive play. Fabio Ferro and Padel FYI both called the sweet spot small, and Padel FYI added that it is high in the face. What can you do about it? Move the 8 g weight. The RBS system lets you remove the weight from the butt cap with a screw. The brand does not publish how that changes balance, so treat it as an experiment, not a promise. The brand also lists four silicone inserts under the grip, and a video reviewer found the anti-vibration system effective against arm fatigue. The product page calls the racket very comfortable and agile at the back of the court. That conflicts with the comfort and maneuverability meters, and with most of the reviews. Padel FYI is the one video that called it comfortable and manoeuvrable. ## Pro+ 2026 or Pro+ Classics: two sheets, nearly one racket The [Ultimate Pro+ Classics](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-classics/) is listed with the same core, face, shape, balance and weight, and it gets the same five meter labels. On paper you cannot tell them apart. A changed label is not a measured change, so do not assume the 2026 version plays differently. Want the same attacking character with a different core? The [Ultimate Pro Smash 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-smash-2026/) is also 370 g. It lists a Medium+ core instead of Hard, but its five meter labels are the same as this racket's. ## Not published: balance in mm, head size, frame, thickness, handle The brand does not publish the balance in millimetres, the head surface, the frame, the thickness or the handle. Only the label "High" is given. So two things you might want, the exact balance point and how thick the racket is, stay unknown. Do not guess them from the weight alone.

Face, shape and balance label are unchanged. **Is it suitable for intermediate players?** The brand lists Intermediate / Advanced. But the hard core, 370 g and small sweet spot reported by some videos reward clean technique, so an intermediate player needs a reliable swing and good contact. **Is the Pro+ 2026 different from the Pro+ Classics?** On the listed specs and meters, they are identical: Hard core, HES Carbon, diamond, high balance, 370 g. Nothing published shows a difference on court. **Is it hard on the arm?** Meters rate comfort as Low because of the hard core and weight. The brand adds four silicone inserts under the grip, and one video reviewer found the vibration reduction effective. **Is the Ultimate Pro+ 2026 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

That counts as heavy. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
