Wood Edition

The first thing you’ll notice about this racket is its interesting wooden design - this sticker reminds us of the early days of padel with concrete walls, pros with beer bellies, smelly old tennis balls, and yes, wooden palas.

Our reviewers were pleasantly surprised by the performance of this racket on the court - from its slightly above central balance, medium-soft hardness, it impressed us with its versatility.

After testing it in trainings, matches, and playing with it during the review, this racket impressed us with its comfort and versatility.

Starting from the bottom, the long (13cm) handle has a large bulge, similar to the Varlion Summum range, which gives you confidence in your grip no matter how much your wrist is closing to scoop out low slicey balls in the back of the court or rip kick smashes.

Absolute beginners without much strength may find the balance a bit high, but with that disclaimer, I would recommend this racket to basically all levels of players seeking a touch slightly softer than medium, similar to an AT10 12K.

Note that we have a 15% discount with PADELFYI15 and Stiga offers a 14 day trial period.
