Oxdog Ultimate Tour 2025

Introduction

The Oxdog Ultimate Tour 2025 is a diamond-shaped, heavy racket built for advanced players who want power and control.

Shape & Balance

The diamond shape puts weight toward the head, giving you more power on smashes but making the racket feel head-heavy. That balance increases swing weight, so you’ll notice it’s not as nimble as a round or teardrop shape.

You need to prepare earlier and commit to each shot. If you have strong wrist control, this balance works in your favor for adding spin and power.

Grip

The handle feels solid and secure in the palm, with a standard grip size that suits most players. Over a long match, the racket’s weight can tire your forearm, but the grip itself stays comfortable.

It doesn’t slip, even when your hands get sweaty. Fatigue is more from the swing weight than the grip design.

Power & Control

Power and control both score 8.7, which is a rare balance. You can hit hard without losing placement, as long as you’re well-positioned. The diamond shape contributes to power, while the medium EVA core and carbon frame help absorb enough to keep shots precise.

In practice, that means your flat smashes accelerate, and your bandejas land deep. You won’t need to swing extra hard—the racket does the work, but you have to manage that power.

Comfort & Speed

Comfort is decent but not plush. The diamond shape and medium feel reduce vibration, but the 365-gram weight means your arm will feel the strain over time.

Speed-wise, the maneuverability score of 7.4 tells the story: it’s not quick through the air. Fast volleys require effort, and defensive plays in the backhand corner are tougher. If you rely on reaction time, this isn’t your best bet.

Materials & Durability

The frame is carbon fiber and the faces are HES Carbon, which is a high-quality, rigid material. That gives a firm response and should hold up well against impacts.

The core is medium EVA, offering a balanced feel. This combo should last if you don’t drop it on hard surfaces, but like any padel racket, it’s not indestructible.

Analysis

This racket delivers serious power. With an 8.7 score, you’ll get plenty of pop on aggressive shots, but it demands good technique to control. The control rating is equally high at 8.7, so when you connect cleanly, the ball goes where you aim.

It’s a demanding racket. Weighing 365 grams with a diamond shape, it’s heavy to swing, and the maneuverability score of 7.4 confirms that slower swings are a trade-off. You’ll feel the mass, especially in fast exchanges at the net.

The sweet spot is forgiving for its shape, scoring 8.4, which helps with off-center hits. However, it’s still a high-level racket—if you’re not consistent, you might struggle with power control.

Beginners or intermediate players should look elsewhere. The weight and balance make it hard to handle for less experienced arms. It’s built for players who can generate their own pace and want to dominate the court.
