Enebe Arrow 2021

Introduction

The Enebe Arrow 2021 is a tear-shaped racket with balanced feel, good for intermediate players seeking control and maneuverability.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives a slightly head-heavy balance, which adds natural power on smashes. It still feels well-balanced overall.

Swing is smooth and consistent, thanks to the tear design. You won't get the extreme head of a diamond, but it's more forgiving than that.

Grip

The handle is standard for a padel racket, with a comfortable grip that reduces vibration. Over a long match, the weight might cause some forearm fatigue, but the medium feel helps absorb shock.

Power & Control

With power at 7.1/10 and control at 7.1/10, it's a balanced pair. You won't crush the ball like a heavyweight, but you can place shots accurately.

The low balance means you can control direction well, while the tear shape adds a bit of help on defense. It's not a weapon, but it's reliable.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is decent — the medium feel and fiberglass faces absorb a fair amount of vibration. It's not ultra-soft, but fine for most players.

Speed is high thanks to the 8.2/10 maneuverability. You can whip it around quickly for fast reactions, which makes it a good choice at the net.

Materials & Durability

Both the frame and faces are fiberglass, a common material that offers good durability at a mid-range price. It's not carbon, so it won't have the same rigidity, but it's sturdy enough.

The core is EVA HR3 Soft, which is a medium-density foam. That contributes to the medium feel and helps with rebound.

Analysis

The Arrow plays like a balanced all-rounder. Its tear shape gives you a good mix of power and control, but neither excels — power and control both rate 7.1/10. That's solid, but not spectacular.

The rebound is high at 8.1/10, so the ball comes off the face with zip. You'll generate decent speed without swinging wildly, which helps in defense and quick volleys.

Maneuverability is a standout — 8.2/10. This racket feels nimble in hand, especially for a 360-375g frame. You can react fast at the net and adjust mid-swing.

However, the weight may tire you in long matches if you're not used to heavy rackets. The sweet spot is decent (7.1/10), so off-center hits won't lose too much control, but precision is still needed.

If you're a beginner, look elsewhere — 360-375g is heavy and demands proper technique. Advanced players who like a fast, balanced stick will appreciate it, but pure power hitters might find it lacking.
