Best for: A great pick for someone looking for power in a racket that isn't so heavy. Thick 3K carbon fiber surface with hard touch. Low ball output with semi-hard touch. Gives not the most, but a decent sensation of the ball.

Volt Padel’s 800 is the Portuguese brand’s top of the line control racket. With a medium-hard touch and a round shape, it has a medium-low balance (our test model is below 26cm).
Like all of Volt’s rackets, it has a very solid feel of high quality.
The surface is composed of a thick layer of 3K carbon fiber, which wraps Volt’s medium density, “Fast recovery Black Eva Core.”
This results in a low ball output racket that delivers top precision and decent power.
We recommend this racket for intermediate and up control-oriented players seeking a medium-hard touch.
Note that Volt provides a slick black racket case with its rackets.
