Oxdog Hyper Pro 2.0 2024

Introduction

The Oxdog Hyper Pro 2.0 2024 is a solid all-rounder for intermediate and advanced players who want a balance of power and control.

Shape & Balance

The tear shape gives a balanced feel between power and control—not as head-heavy as a diamond, not as balanced as a round. You get a moderate sweet spot that's slightly higher on the face, which helps with smashes.

The balance point is neutral-ish, so the racket doesn't swing too heavy. You'll feel the 365 grams, but it distributes evenly, making it easier to handle than you'd expect.

Grip

The grip feels comfortable out of the box, with a standard size that fits most hands. It's wrapped securely, and the tackiness holds up during long rallies.

After a three-set match, you notice the weight in your arm, but not the grip—it stays put and doesn't slide. No hot spots or friction issues, so comfort is fine.

Power & Control

With power at 8.4/10, you can hit through the court, especially on flat shots and smashes. The medium-hard feel transfers energy well, so you don't need to swing wildly to get depth.

Control at 8.6/10 means your placement is reliable, especially on volleys and bandejas. It's a racket that lets you direct the ball where you want, without over-hitting.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is decent for a medium-hard racket—the EVA Medium+ core absorbs vibration enough to avoid harshness. You'll feel solid hits, but it's not jarring. Long matches are doable, though your arm may tire from the weight.

Speed wise, the 8.1/10 maneuverability is fine for a 365-gram racket. You can react at the net, but it's not lightning fast. Prepare early, and you'll be okay.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon fiber, which keeps the racket stiff and strong, so it should resist wear from hard knocks. The faces use HES Carbon, a high-strength carbon that adds a bit of flex while keeping the face durable.

The core is EVA Medium+, which offers a balance between softness and firmness—durable and consistent over time. Based on the materials listed, this racket should hold up well to regular play.

Analysis

This racket sits at 365 grams with a tear shape, giving it a medium-hard feel that suits players who like a bit of punch without losing touch. The power rating of 8.4/10 means you can put the ball away when you need to, but it's not a pure banger like a diamond-shaped model. Control scores slightly higher at 8.6/10, so volleys and placement feel precise, which is handy for rallies.

The sweet spot is the standout feature here—rated 9.1/10—so even off-center hits stay stable and forgiving. Rebound at 8/10 feels lively but not springy, so the ball comes off the face with a predictable pop. Maneuverability is 8.1/10, which is decent for 365 grams, but you'll notice the weight if you're late to the ball.

That weight means this racket demands a bit of preparation. Slower swings might feel heavy, especially if you're used to lighter rackets. Beginners might struggle with the heft, but intermediate players with decent technique will get rewarded.

If you're a defensive player who wants easy speed, look elsewhere—something lighter and rounder will serve you better. But if you can handle the weight and want a racket that does both attack and defense well, this is a strong pick.
