Stiga created the next generation of the Axe, the Axe 3 in partnership with Daniel Dios, a padel coach trainer.
Marketed as a medium-high balance versatile racket, it actually has a very low balance which gives a lot of time while in the back of the court.
You’ll be able to place your chiquitas wherever you like.
Note that its balance also reduces power in smashes and leads to instability when blocking hard shots.
It has a touch slightly harder than medium, in between an AT10 12K and an AT10 18K.
The sandpaper roughness is comfortable while supporting the racket with your nondominant hand and helps you keep your volleys low.
But, in general, at the front of the court, it takes a big swing to get the balls behind the service line.
Note that we have a 15% discount with PADELFYI15 and Stiga offers a 14 day trial period.
