The one court test of the Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light 2026 calls it unusually fast through the air. It also warns that the contact window is small. That mix says a lot about this racket.
Fast through the air, small contact window
The reviewer at padel.how rated it 77 out of 100. Praise went to speed, quick net play and spin. Note that the review credits the spin to a sandy face, while Oxdog lists the 2026 surface as Rough. The criticism was the sweet spot, which punishes late or off-centre contact. The review compares it with the standard Ultimate moulds, and finds the contact window less generous.
That fits what the specs suggest. A diamond shape shrinks the forgiving area of the face. The one reviewer found a similar trade-off. You get speed. You pay for it with accuracy.
High balance in a light frame
The weight is listed at 350 g, both as minimum and maximum. Within the Oxdog family it is on the lighter side. The Ultimate Pro 2025 is listed at 365 g, and the Pro+ 2026 and Pro Smash 2026 at 370 g. The Pro Smash 2026 shares the medium-plus core and the diamond shape, but it carries more mass.
The meters read Low for maneuverability. That looks odd for a light racket. The reason is in the drivers. The diamond shape and the high balance both lower it, and only the weight raises it. Oxdog lists the balance as High but gives no figure in millimetres. So the specs point to a racket that is light on the scale but head-heavy in the swing.
What the face, core and weight system tell you
The face is HES Carbon 8K, with a rough surface according to the brand. The core is listed as Medium+. Carbon with a diamond shape and high balance explains the High power meter. The medium-plus core and low weight explain why comfort lands at Medium rather than Low.
The frame is carbon with PowerRibs, according to one retailer. The product page claims the PowerRibs add power and reduce vibration. Treat that as a brand claim, not a measurement.
Oxdog's RBS system puts a removable 8 g weight in the butt cap. The brand says it lets you adjust balance and weight. How the 350 g figure relates to that weight is not published.
Rough now, Sandy in 2027
The 2027 version is listed with a Sandy surface. It also has a stainless-steel RBS system that includes a 6g weight. Balance, face, level, shape and 350 g stay the same. Its core and frame are not known, and its listing is still incomplete.
Next to the Pro 2025 and the Dunlop Gravity
The Ultimate Pro 2025 and the Dunlop Gravity are similar diamonds with high balance and High power. The difference on the meters is comfort. Both read Low, while the Light reads Medium. The Gravity is aimed at advanced players. The Pro 2025 shares this racket's intermediate to advanced level. On the meters, the Light is the more comfortable of the three.
What Oxdog does not publish
Several specs are missing. Balance in millimetres, head size, thickness and the handle are not published. The pro player is not listed either. Until they appear, treat the High balance label as a direction, not a number.
If you want a lower level or more comfort, the Oxdog Ultimate Nxt-Gen 2026 is listed for beginners to intermediates and reads High on comfort and Medium on control. Its sweet spot meter is Low too, so it is not a fix for off-centre hits.
