Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light-
The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light is a diamond-shaped padel racket for advanced players, developed for an attacking game without giving up maneuverability. With a light weight (350 grams), high balance and a hard construction, this racket combines the power characteristics of a diamond with the speed of a lighter racket. New is the RBS weight system, allowing you to adjust the balance yourself.
Our measurement
The key characteristics at a glance
Measured on our Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro. Objective measurements, no marketing claims.
Hard (65 on our scale). The ball sinks little into the face and bounces back quickly. More control over placement and a direct feel on impact, but you have to supply the energy yourself. With a sensitive elbow a harder face is a consideration.
Our hardness scale
Maneuverable (160 on our scale). For reference: rackets built purely around power often sit at 165 or higher, while control rackets sit around 150. This racket sits just below neutral, keeping it maneuverable at the net and fast in the swing.
Our swingweight scale
350 grams
high
In practice: a classic diamond shape with a high balance, in a light package (350 grams). The sweetspot is small and sits high on the face. Because the weight is light and the swingweight stays just below neutral, this is an attacking racket that remains maneuverable at the net. Suitable for players who use the smash and vibora as main shots but do not want to give up reaction speed.
Who suits this racket
Well suited to: advanced players who want to play attacking and like to hit the ball high on the face, but do not want to be held back by a heavy racket. The light package (350 grams) makes this racket suitable for players who move around the court a lot and react quickly at the net.
Less suited to: players still working on their technique (the small sweetspot is less forgiving), players who hit the ball centrally on the face (a hybrid suits them better), and players with a sensitive elbow. In that case have a look at our selection of rackets for padel elbow.
How does this racket play?
The sweetspot of a diamond shape is small and sits high on the face. Hit the ball there and you get maximum return on smash and vibora. Hit it lower or to the side and you noticeably lose pace. This makes a diamond more demanding than a hybrid, but if you have the technique it rewards you with a level of explosiveness that other shapes cannot match.
What sets the Ultimate Pro Light apart is the combination of a diamond shape and a light weight. Heavy diamonds (365-375 grams) give maximum leverage but less maneuverability. This 350-gram version with a swingweight of 160 (just below neutral) stays fast in the swing. You lose some mass in the head, but you gain reaction speed at the net and smoothness on the volley.
The technology: what do you notice?
- Diamond shape with high balance: weight distributed towards the head of the racket. What you notice: extra power on overhead shots such as smash and vibora.
- Light weight (350 grams): lighter than a standard men's diamond (365-375g). What you notice: you swing faster and react more easily at the net. Feels less head-heavy than a heavier diamond, despite the high balance.
- Medium+ Foam core: medium to hard core construction. What you notice: a solid feel on impact with enough feedback to know where you are hitting the ball.
- Sandy face texture: rough top layer with a fine, sand-like structure. What you notice: the ball grips better, giving extra spin on shots like bandeja and topspin.
- RBS weight system (6 grams): stainless steel weight that you attach to the handle yourself. Add it for a more head-heavy feel on the smash, leave it off for maximum maneuverability.
- Replaceable wrist cord with adjustable fit: wrist cord that you can replace yourself and adjust to your hand.

Frequently asked questions
Who does the Ultimate Pro Light suit best?
Advanced players who want to play attacking and like to hit the ball high on the face, but who value speed and maneuverability. The light package makes this racket suitable for players who volley a lot and react quickly at the net.
What is the difference with a heavier diamond?
A heavier diamond (365-375 grams) gives maximum leverage on the smash, but is less maneuverable at the net. The Ultimate Pro Light deliberately chooses 350 grams: slightly less mass in the head, but more reaction speed and smoothness.
What does the RBS weight system do?
A 6-gram stainless steel weight that you can attach to the handle yourself. Add it for a more head-heavy feel and extra power on the smash, leave it off for maximum maneuverability.
Is the Ultimate Pro Light suitable with tennis elbow or a sensitive elbow?
The hard core (65 on our scale) transfers more vibrations to your arm than a softer face. The light weight partly compensates for this, but with existing complaints this is not the most logical racket. See our selection for padel elbow.
