Introduction
The Ocho Padel Myrtea Luxury is a heavy, powerful tear-shaped racket for advanced players who want to finish points.
Shape & Balance
The tear shape puts the balance slightly toward the head, which adds power but makes the racket feel heavier in the swing.
You’ll notice the weight in the first few minutes. It’s a solid feel that rewards a full, deliberate swing rather than quick flicks.
Grip
The handle feels standard and fits comfortably in most hands. No surprises here.
Because the racket is heavy (345-380g), your grip needs to be solid throughout a long match. Fatigue can set in if you have a weak wrist or forearm.
Power & Control
With a power score of 9.1, this is one of the harder-hitting rackets you’ll find. Smashes and drives have real pace, and you can push your opponents back.
Control at 8.6 is still high, but you’ll need to dial in your aim. The extra power can lead to overhitting if you’re not careful. It rewards precise, aggressive play.
Comfort & Speed
The medium feel and EVA Black Soft core absorb some vibration, so it’s not harsh on impact. That said, the weight can make it tiring over a long match.
Maneuverability scores 8.4, which is decent for a heavy racket, but it’s not quick at the net. You’ll need time to wind up your shots.
Materials & Durability
The frame mixes 70% Carbon 12K, 20% Graphene, and 10% Fiberglass. That combination gives stiffness and strength, but it’s not the most flexible frame out there.
The faces are Kevlar and Carbon, which are tough materials. You should get good durability against scrapes, but the frame might transfer more shock if you mis-hit.
Analysis
This racket hits hard. The power score of 9.1 is very high, and you feel it the moment you connect. Shots off the sweet spot fly fast, which helps with smashes and attacking plays.
Control at 8.6 is high, but not perfect. The tear shape gives a decent balance between power and precision, though you still need good technique to place the ball.
The rebound is 8.6, so the ball comes off the face quickly. That helps on defensive volleys but also means you have to control your timing.
The sweet spot is 8.3, which is wide but not enormous. Hit it clean and you're rewarded. Miss the center and the power drops noticeably.
This is not a racket for beginners or players with slow swings. The weight and stiffness demand strong arms and good footwork. If you're still learning, look elsewhere.
Verdict
If you’re an advanced player who likes to attack and has the strength to handle a heavy racket, this is a strong choice. The power is exceptional, and the control is solid for its class.
But if you’re a beginner, have a slower swing, or get arm fatigue easily, skip this one. There are lighter, more forgiving rackets that will help you improve without the same physical demand.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the Ocho Padel Myrtea Luxury suitable for, and is it good for beginners?
This racket is built for advanced players with strong swings. Beginners should not use it because the heavy weight and high power make control difficult. Start with a lighter, round-shaped racket instead.
Is the Ocho Padel Myrtea Luxury a power or control racket?
It’s primarily a power racket, with a 9.1 power score. Control is still high at 8.6, but the design emphasizes attack. You get extra speed on smashes, but you’ll need to manage your aim carefully.
Does the Ocho Padel Myrtea Luxury cause arm or elbow pain?
The medium feel and EVA Black Soft core help absorb some vibration, but the heavy weight can strain your arm over time. If you have a history of elbow issues, test it at a lower weight (around 345g) first.
