Oxdog Ultimate Pro Plus 2025

Introduction

The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Plus 2025 is a hard, diamond-shaped racket built for aggressive players who want maximum power on every shot.

Shape & Balance

The diamond shape puts a lot of weight in the head, creating a head-heavy balance. That shifts the sweet spot up, which is great for power but makes the racket feel heavier when rapid changes of direction are needed.

You need a strong shoulder and quick footwork to keep it moving in long rallies. It's not a racket for defense.

Grip

The handle is standard, but the overall weight means your hand and forearm work harder. Over a three-set match, you'll feel fatigue in your arm, especially if you're not used to this level of weight.

A good overgrip helps, but nothing changes the mass you have to control.

Power & Control

Power is 10/10, which is as high as it gets. Every aggressive swing feels effortless, and opponents won't have time to react to your smashes.

Control at 9.6 is unusually high alongside that power, so you can hit deep shots with precision. The balance works—you get both, but only if your timing is on point.

Comfort & Speed

Hard EVA and a hard feel mean every impact is blunt—there's no cushioning. If you have elbow issues, this is not the racket; stinging on off-center hits is real.

Maneuverability at 7.6 is just fine; it's not sluggish, but it's not snappy either. For a 370-gram racket, it moves okay, but you won't win competitions at the net with it.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon fiber and the faces are HES Carbon, which is a solid combo. These materials are strong and stiff, which contributes to the power and durability.

The core is Hard EVA, which is known to hold up well over time. You shouldn't see cracking or deformation with normal use, but avoid hard impacts that can stress the frame.

Analysis

This racket plays exactly as its numbers suggest: power is off the charts. The 10/10 power rating means balls fly off the face with minimal effort, especially on smashes and flat drives. Control at 9.6 is remarkably high for a power racket, thanks to the HES Carbon faces and Hard EVA core that keep the ball predictable. However, the high weight and hard feel make it unforgiving for slow swings. If you don't have solid technique, you'll find it hard to generate spin or control under pressure.

Sweet spot is generous at 8.5, which helps with off-center hits. But the rebound at 7.7 is just average—you get less free bounce, so you must generate your own pace. Maneuverability at 7.6 is lower; this is a racket for players who lead with their body, not for quick wrist flicks at the net.

Beginners or intermediate players should steer clear unless they want a harsh learning curve. It's best suited to advanced players who play predominantly on the right side and finish points hard. Defensive players will find it tiring and hard to use in fast exchanges.

In short, this is a specialist tool. It delivers brutal power but demands you know how to handle it.
