Oxdog Ultimate Pro Plus Classics Series

Introduction

The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Plus Classics Series is a heavy, hard-feeling diamond racket built for aggressive players who want maximum power and are willing to trade control and speed.

Shape & Balance

The diamond shape puts the balance point high toward the top of the racket, which increases the swing weight and makes the head feel heavier than 370 grams. This creates a top-heavy feel that adds power to your smashes.

The trade-off is that it swings slower, so you have less time to react at the net. You'll need a strong wrist and good timing to handle the extra mass.

Grip

The grip is standard and provides a solid, secure hold. With a weight of 370 grams, the handle feels substantial, and the hard feel means you'll feel every impact in your hand.

Over a long match, the lack of vibration dampening can lead to hand fatigue, especially if you're not used to such a heavy, stiff racket.

Power & Control

The power rating of 10/10 is spot-on—this is one of the most powerful rackets you'll find. You can generate huge speed on smashes and flat drives without extra effort, and the ball rockets off the face.

The control at 9.4 is also very high, but it's not the kind of control that forgives bad technique. It rewards precise, clean hits with accurate placement, but if you're off, you'll see the errors clearly.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is low due to the hard feel and heavy weight. You'll feel vibrations in your arm, and the stiff core transmits every shock, so it's not friendly for players with elbow issues.

Speed is a weakness—the maneuverability score of 7.3 confirms it feels sluggish in quick exchanges. You'll need to prepare early and use your body rotation to get it moving, which can be tiring over three sets.

Materials & Durability

The frame is made of carbon fiber, which is strong and stiff, and the faces use HES Carbon, a type of carbon that adds rigidity. The core is hard EVA foam, which is dense and durable.

These materials are built to last, but the construction is not designed to absorb shock, so durability might be an issue if you frequently hit off-center—the hard face can chip. Still, with proper use, it should hold up well.

Analysis

This racket hits like a sledgehammer. With a power score of 10/10, you'll crush every smash and flat shot without needing to swing hard. The hard EVA core and carbon construction make it unforgiving, though—off-center hits will punish your arm, and the rebound rating of 7.5 means it feels stiff and direct, not springy.

Control is surprisingly high at 9.4, but that's a double-edged sword. On a pure power racket, this control comes from the heavy weight and dense hitting zone, so you get precision when you're perfectly positioned, not forgiveness. You need solid technique and fast reactions to keep up with its pace.

The sweet spot is 8.5, which is decent for a diamond shape, but it's smallish and sits high toward the top of the face. Mishits near the throat will feel dead, and you'll lose power and control quickly.

This racket is not for beginners or intermediates. It's also not for players who prefer a softer, more forgiving feel. If you're a high-level attacker who wants to end points with brute force, it can work, but it demands a lot from you physically and technically.

If you're looking for something easier to maneuver or more comfortable on the elbow, look elsewhere. This is a specialist tool for a specific kind of player.
