Hard hitters will want something else. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are learning the game and want a round head that forgives off-centre hits - you win points with placement and patience, not with smashes - you want a soft, comfortable racket that does not punish a late swing Skip it if - you want a teardrop with more punch, in which case look at the Wilson Optix V2 Power - you need the quickest racket in the hand, since the Babolat Counter Origin is head-light and reads High for maneuverability - you already finish points with hard overheads and need a stiffer, more powerful frame ## How it plays 7.8 **padell.io score 7.8** Play 8.6 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

The fiberglass face pulls it down a little, so placement should still come fairly easily. - **Power** Soft EVA, a fiberglass face and a round head all pull power down, so expect to generate the pace yourself. - **Comfort** A soft core under a fiberglass face points to a calm, low-vibration feel for your arm. - **Handling** Medium: the round shape and the balance both push it up, but nothing on the sheet lifts it to High. - **Forgiveness** The soft core and round head suggest a tolerant hitting area when contact is not clean. ## Specifications - **Launched**: 2026 - **Shape**: Round [Big sweet spot low in the face: control and margin](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) - **Weight**: 355 g Average: not tiring, stable enough - **Balance**: Head-light according to the brand, 260 mm Head-light: quick hands at the net - **Face**: Fiberglass - **Core**: Soft EVA Soft: comfort and ball exit, less control at high speed - **Thickness**: 38 mm The maximum the rules allow - **Surface**: Flat - **Frame**: Reinforced carbon frame Not published by the brand: head size, handle Specs from padelnuestro.com · checked 25 September 2026 · [Spotted a wrong spec?

Checked every night. The name says Lite, the lilac paint says friendly, and the listing says 355 grams. Those signals do not quite agree, so this page starts with the scale. There is no review of this racket yet. Everything below is a reading of the specs, and it is labelled that way. ## 355 g and still called Lite: what the name promises and the sheet lists The weight is listed at 355 g, with no range. Is that light? Compared with the rackets around it, only slightly. The [Wilson Optix V2 Power](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/optix-v2-power/) is listed at 360 g. The [Head Gravity Team 2024](https://padell.io/rackets/head/gravity-team-2024/) is also 360 g. The [Bullpadel Indiga CTR 2023](https://padell.io/rackets/bullpadel/indiga-ctr-2023/) runs from 360 to 370 g. The [Babolat Counter Origin](https://padell.io/rackets/babolat/counter-origin/) spans 345 to 365 g. So Lite here means a little lighter than its neighbours, not light in any absolute sense. Not a featherweight, but a racket at the lower end of a normal beginner range. If you expect a very light arm-saver, adjust that expectation before you buy. ## Quick reactions, says the product page: the meters read Medium maneuverability The product page claims the racket allows quick reactions in defence and agile movement at the net. That is marketing, and the numbers only back part of it. The maneuverability meter reads Medium. The round shape and the 260 mm balance raise it, but nothing on the sheet pushes it to High. The balance data is worth a second look. One retailer labels the balance Low. A separate source gives 260 mm. The Optix V2 Power is labelled High at 265 mm. The gap in millimetres is small, while the labels sit at opposite ends. Treat the label as a rough hint and the millimetres as the better guide. Either way, this racket is not built to be head-heavy. ## Soft EVA under fiberglass in a round head: why control and comfort read High and power Low Three choices explain the profile. A soft EVA core absorbs shock and gives the ball less spring. A fiberglass face is forgiving and flexes more than a stiff carbon one. A round head keeps the weight close to the hand. The result on paper: control High, comfort High, sweet spot High, power Low. You trade pace for tolerance. When a ball arrives late, a racket like this should still return it with direction. When you want to flatten a smash, you will have to supply most of the speed yourself. The frame is listed as a reinforced carbon frame. That gives the head some structure. It does not change the picture much, because the core and face set the character. The surface is flat, with no texture listed. Thickness is 38 mm. That is the same as the Optix V2 Power, the Head Gravity Team 2024 and the Babolat Counter Origin, so it will not separate them. ## Beginner / Intermediate: who gets most from a forgiving round racket, and who outgrows it The retailer lists the level as Beginner / Intermediate, and another listing describes the player profile as Control. Both fit the specs. You get the most from it if you are still building technique. Clean contact is not guaranteed at that stage, and a round, soft racket forgives. It also suits you if you are returning to the sport and want something kind to the arm. You outgrow it when your game changes. If you start to hit through the ball regularly, the low power reading will begin to hold you back. At that point a more rigid, teardrop or diamond racket makes sense. That is a normal step, not a flaw. Plan for it rather than being surprised. The Optix family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**V2 Power Blue**](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/optix-v2-power-blue/) [**V2 Power**](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/optix-v2-power/) **V2 Lite Lilac** ## Next to the Optix V2 Power, the Head Gravity Team 2024 and the Babolat Counter Origin The Lite and the [Optix V2 Power](https://padell.io/rackets/wilson/optix-v2-power/) share a name and a 38 mm thickness. After that they differ. The Lite is round with a Low balance label and a soft EVA core. The Power is a teardrop with a High balance label and a foam core. The meters follow. The Lite reads High for control and sweet spot. The Power reads Medium for both. Power reads Low on both rackets, which is a surprise given the name of the sibling. On paper, the Power's difference is shape and balance, not a clear jump in pace. If you want the more forgiving of the two, the sheet points to the Lite. The [Head Gravity Team 2024](https://padell.io/compare/head-gravity-team-2024-vs-wilson-optix-v2-lite-lilac/) is the closest match on paper. It is round, has a Low balance label at 265 mm, a foam core, a fiberglass face and the same meter readings. It weighs 360 g. You would be choosing between near-identical sheets, so handle feel and your own preference decide. The [Babolat Counter Origin](https://padell.io/compare/babolat-counter-origin-vs-wilson-optix-v2-lite-lilac/) differs in one place. It is labelled head-light and reads High for maneuverability, against Medium here. If speed in the hand matters most to you, that is the one to check. The Bullpadel Indiga CTR 2023 also matches this racket's meters, with a soft EVA core and a heavier 360 to 370 g listing. ## Head size, handle, weight system: what the sheet does not publish The head surface area is not published. The handle is not published. The weight system is not published. No pro player is linked to it either. That matters a little. Head area affects how big the forgiving zone really is. Handle details affect grip comfort and how you balance the racket. Until those numbers appear, keep that part of the picture open and, if you can, hold the racket before you commit.
