Introduction
The Ocho Padel Myrtea Excellence Earth Green is a balanced tear-shaped racket for intermediate to advanced players who want both power and control.
Shape & Balance
The tear shape gives a good balance between power and control. The weight is slightly head-heavy, which helps with power but still keeps the racket manageable.
Swinging it feels natural. You get a bit of momentum on smashes without losing feel on volleys.
Grip
The grip feels comfortable out of the box. It's not too thick or thin, so most hands will fit fine.
Over a long match, the weight might tire your arm a bit, but the medium feel reduces harsh vibrations.
Power & Control
Power and control both score 8.5, which is rare. You can hit hard from the back of the court without sending the ball long.
For volleys, the racket responds well. You can place shots with accuracy, and the rebound is predictable.
Comfort & Speed
Comfort is decent. The carbon frame and Kevlar face make it sturdy, but the EVA core softens impact. The 8.4 maneuverability score means it's not a log—you can bring it around quickly for defense.
It's not the fastest racket out there, but it's not sluggish either. For a tear shape, it feels lighter than the weight suggests.
Materials & Durability
The frame uses 80% carbon 3K, mixed with Diolen and fiberglass. That combo gives a solid structure that should hold up well to impacts.
The faces are Kevlar and carbon, which are known for durability. The EVA Black core is dense, so it won't lose shape quickly.
Analysis
This racket sits in a sweet spot. It gives you good power without making you fight for control. The 8.5 scores for both reflect that balance in play.
On the court, it feels solid. The medium feel and EVA Black core absorb hard hits well, so you get a consistent rebound off the face. The Kevlar-carbon face adds a bit of grip on the ball, helping with spin.
You won't get elite-level power like a diamond-shaped racket, but you also won't lose shots to overhitting. It's a forgiving setup for aggressive players.
Players who prefer a very soft touch might find it stiff. And if you're a beginner, the weight range (345-380g) could feel heavy over a long session.
Verdict
If you're an intermediate or advanced player wanting a balanced racket, buy this. It works for aggressive all-rounders who want power and control.
Beginners might find the weight too much, and players who want maximum power or extreme softness should look elsewhere. It's a solid choice for its niche.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ocho Padel Myrtea Excellence Earth Green good for beginners?
No, not really. The high weight (345-380g) and medium feel can be tough for beginners. It's better for intermediate or advanced players who can handle the weight and want a balanced performance.
Is the Ocho Padel Myrtea Excellence Earth Green a power or control racket?
It's both. With 8.5 for power and 8.5 for control, it gives a balanced performance. You get good power on smashes but still have accuracy for placement.
Is the Ocho Padel Myrtea Excellence Earth Green comfortable on the arm?
It should be fine for most players. The EVA Black core absorbs vibrations well, and the medium feel reduces shock. But the heavy weight might cause fatigue in longer matches.
