Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash 2026

The only spec that differs between the Oxdog Ultimate Pro Smash 2025 and this 2026 is one word on the frame line: Aerodynamic became Carbon. Everything else in the published specs is the same. So this page is less about what is new and more about what this racket is: a heavy, high-balance diamond aimed at players who attack.

Aerodynamic frame or Carbon frame: one label changed, nothing else did

The 2025 version lists an aerodynamic frame. The 2026 lists a carbon frame, and that entry comes from a retailer, not from the brand. Treat it as a changed label, not a measured change. Core, face, shape, balance label, weight, level and weight system are all identical. The brand's product page mentions an aerodynamic frame.

370 g with an 8 g weight in the butt cap: what is fixed and what you can remove

The brand lists one weight: 370 g, with no range. That is heavy. The Ultimate Pro Light 2026 sits at 350 g, for comparison. The Smash also uses RBS, the Racket Balance System, a removable 8 g weight in the butt cap. Oxdog says the box includes the weight and a screwdriver. How much the balance moves without it is not published.

Fast overhead, narrow sweet spot: what padel.how found about the Smash

Padel.how played the racket and rated it 76 out of 100. It liked the power through bandejas, viboras and smashes, and the acceleration at the net. It called the sweet spot narrow, so you need precise central contact and clean timing. Its dimension ratings were positive for grip and power and neutral for comfort and control. Sweet spot was also rated neutral overall, yet a narrow sweet spot is the one con it lists. It is one test from one source, so read it as a good pointer, not a settled opinion.

Heavy, high balance, diamond: why power is High and the other four meters are Low

The carbon face, the diamond shape, the weight and the high balance all push power up. The same ingredients pull the other meters down. A diamond has a smaller, higher hitting zone, and the review's narrow sweet spot comment points the same way, so the sweet spot is Low. A heavy, head-heavy frame is slower to turn and harder on the arm, so maneuverability and comfort are Low too. Control is Low for similar reasons, even though the Medium+ core and the carbon face help a little. The one review rated control neutral, so the gap may be smaller on court than on paper. That is the trade: you get a hard hitter and pay for it in forgiveness. Oxdog markets it to offensive players, which fits.

Smash or Ultimate Pro+ 2026: the same 370 g, a harder core on the Pro+

The Ultimate Pro+ 2026 shares the 370 g weight, the diamond shape, the high balance and the Intermediate / Advanced level. The difference is the core: Hard on the Pro+, Medium+ on the Smash. A harder core usually feels firmer. Both are rated Low for comfort. The Pro+ carries Nachi Sager as its pro player, while the Smash has none listed.

For a rival from another brand, look at the Bullpadel Vertex 04 25. It is also a high-balance diamond. It is listed at 365 g to 375 g and 38 mm thick. It is aimed at Advanced / Professional players.

What Oxdog does not publish

Oxdog does not publish the balance in millimetres, the head size, the thickness or the handle details. The balance is only labelled High. So you cannot compare this racket with others on those numbers, and you should not guess them. The brand does publish the core, face, shape, level and weight, so the basics are covered. If grip size or thickness matters to you, hold one before you commit.
