[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Oxdog Ultimate Tour X 2026 is a diamond racket with a listed weight of 355 g and a medium balance. The one tested review found it quick, with a generous contact zone for a diamond. The catch: comfort and sweet spot read Low on the meters, and balance in mm and head size are not published. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 26 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an intermediate moving towards a more attacking game, and you accept that the maneuverability meter reads Low even though padel.how called the head quick - you like the idea of a removable 8 g cap weight (RBS), knowing Oxdog publishes no figures for the racket with it removed - you want a medium balance that is neither clearly head-light nor clearly head-heavy Skip it if - you want a softer, more comfortable Oxdog, in which case the Oxdog Ultimate Nxt-Gen 2026 has a High comfort meter and a soft core - you want maximum smash power from a heavier racket like the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ 2026 at 370 g - you need every spec confirmed before buying, because head size, frame and balance in mm are not published ## How it plays 7.8 **padell.io score 7.8** Play 7.6 (60%) and reviews 8.1 (40%).

What it says is mostly positive. It rated the racket 77 out of 100 and called grip, control and sweet spot positive. Power and comfort were neutral. Its praise is for a quick head, accessible depth from moderate swings and a generous contact zone for a diamond. Its one con is lower maximum power than heavier Pro models. The tension is with the meters, not with another reviewer. They read Low on sweet spot and comfort, while the review is kinder, especially on sweet spot. The diamond shape keeps the sweet spot meter low, and review input pulls the comfort meter down. [**padel.how** 7.7 “It is quick enough for reaction play, forgiving enough for advanced intermediates and powerful enough to finish through viboras, kick smashes and well-timed flat contact.” Read the full review →](https://padel.how/equipment/racket/oxdog-ultimate-tour-x-2026-review/) The Oxdog Ultimate Tour X 2026 is a diamond racket at 355 g with a medium balance. Several key specs are not published, so this page leans on what is known and says clearly what is not. ## A fixed 355 g and a medium balance [Oxdog](https://padell.io/brands/oxdog/) lists the weight as 355 g, both minimum and maximum. So there is no [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) to hope for. What you read is what you get, apart from the cap weight covered below. The balance is labelled Medium. The brand does not publish a figure in mm, so you cannot place it more precisely than that. In practice a medium balance means the racket is not clearly head-heavy and not clearly head-light. Not a hammer, not a feather. The face is HES Carbon 8K, the core is listed as Medium, and a retailer gives the thickness as 38 mm. The brand lists the playing surface as sandy, which is a textured finish. Oxdog's product page says this adds grip on the ball for spin. Treat that as a claim, not a measurement. ## Quick head, generous contact: what padel.how found One source has played this racket: padel.how, which rated it 77 out of 100. It called the head quick, with accessible depth from moderate swings. It also found the sweet spot forgiving and the contact zone generous for a diamond. Its one criticism is lower maximum power than heavier Pro models. It recommends the racket to advanced intermediate and advanced players who want attacking geometry with easy transitions around the court. One review is a thin base. Read it as a first impression from a single tester, not a consensus. ## Why a forgiving diamond still reads Low on sweet spot and comfort The meters and the review do not say the same thing. That is useful to know. The sweet spot meter reads Low mainly because of the [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/). The positive review pushes the meter up a little, but not out of Low. So a forgiving contact zone and a Low sweet spot meter can both be true. The tester judged it forgiving for a diamond, not against other shapes. Comfort is similar. The medium core helps, but review input pulls the meter down. Yet padel.how rated comfort as neutral. If your arm is sensitive, take the Low reading as a reason to be careful, not as a proven problem. Oxdog says four silicone inserts under the grip reduce vibration. That is the brand's claim, and no reviewer has confirmed it. ## The 8 g cap weight: the one adjustment you get The racket has the RBS (Racket Balance System): a removable 8 g weight in the butt cap. The product page says the box includes the weight and a screwdriver. What can it change? Oxdog publishes no weight or balance figures with the cap weight removed. As general padel knowledge, less weight in the butt usually moves the balance towards the head, but that is not a brand figure. Try both ways on court and keep the one your wrist prefers. ## Tour X, Nxt-Gen or Pro+: 345 g, 355 g and 370 g on the same shape The same-year Oxdog diamonds show where this racket sits. The [Oxdog Ultimate Nxt-Gen 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-nxt-gen-2026/) is lighter at 345 g and thinner at 35 mm. Oxdog lists it for beginner and intermediate players, it has a soft core, and its comfort meter reads High. The [Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-2026/) weighs 370 g, has a high balance and a hard core. Its power meter reads High, but control reads Low. The Tour X sits between them: heavier with a firmer core than the Nxt-Gen, lighter with a lower balance and softer core than the Pro+. A look outside the brand: the [Wilson Carbon Force LT 2023](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/carbon-force-lt-2023/) also weighs 355 g. It has a medium balance and a diamond shape. Its core is soft EVA and its comfort meter reads Medium. The Ultimate family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Pro+**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-2026/) [**Pro Smash**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-smash-2026/) [**Pro Light**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-pro-light-2026/) **Tour X** [**Woman Air**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-woman-air/) [**Nxt**](https://padell.io/rackets/oxdog/ultimate-nxt-gen-2026/) ## Not published: balance in mm, head size, frame, handle Several specs are missing. Oxdog does not publish the balance in mm, the head size, the frame or the handle details. It also names no pro player for this model. That matters for a shape where small differences count. Two diamonds with the same 355 g can play differently if the head size or balance point differs. Until those numbers appear, lean on the weight, the review and your own trial. The level is another small split. The brand field says Intermediate / Advanced. The product page text talks about players from beginners to advanced. The brand's own spec gives the narrower range, and the tester says advanced intermediate and advanced.

Oxdog lists it for intermediate and advanced players, and the diamond shape and Low sweet spot meter point the same way. The Oxdog Ultimate Nxt-Gen 2026 is listed for beginner and intermediate players. **How does it differ from the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ 2026?** The Pro+ weighs 370 g against 355 g here, and has a high balance and a hard core. Its power meter reads High and control Low. The Tour X is lighter with a medium balance, and reads Medium on both control and power. **Is it hard on the arm?** The comfort meter reads Low, but padel.how rated comfort as neutral. Oxdog claims silicone inserts under the grip reduce vibration, though no reviewer has confirmed that. If you have arm problems, try it before committing. **What does the removable 8 g weight do?** It sits in the butt cap and can be taken out. Oxdog does not publish weight or balance figures with it removed, so test both setups yourself. **What is the closest alternative?** The Dunlop Aero-Star Lite plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 124.95. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/dunlop-aero-star-lite-vs-oxdog-ultimate-tour-x/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 5.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (4.0/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 355 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
