The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light, like its siblings in the Ultimate series, is a power racket with a head-heavy balance and a stiff frame construction. The surface is made from medium-soft foam. The Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light differentiates itself by being, on average, 15 grams lighter than its direct counterpart, the Oxdog Ultimate Pro, making it a more maneuverable racket. Additionally, this racket is an excellent choice if you want a power racket but struggle with elbow or shoulder issues. Its lighter weight and medium-hard core make it gentler on the shoulder than many other power rackets. The surface features 3D-spin to enhance ball impact and grip.

Technologies
Oxdog takes pride in being at the forefront of technology and has successfully implemented several features all focused on helping you perform at your best.
PowerRibs are placed at the top of the racket, ensuring more power without requiring extra effort. This technology, in combination with Oxdog's High Energy System™ carbon, transfers the power from your shot to greater speed for the ball while reducing vibrations.
Racket Balance System (RBS) includes two removable weights, allowing you to adjust the racket's weight and balance to suit your personal preferences. This feature lets you, for example, reduce the racket’s weight for increased maneuverability.
Silent Speed: The HES-Carbon frame ensures energy from your shot is directly transferred to the ball, producing a significantly quieter sound on impact.
HES Carbon 8K: In addition to maximizing energy transfer for increased power, HES carbon also contributes to the extended durability of the racket's carbon fibers.
Double Size Hole Pattern (DSH) significantly improves ball contact. When hitting off-center, many top rackets penalize you with poor contact, but this technology enhances playability off-center while maximizing power.
Vibradamp: In addition to improving off-center ball contact, Oxdog's Vibradamp system reduces vibrations in the racket. The three-layer design minimizes strain on your wrist, elbow, and shoulder, making it a great choice for preventing or managing injuries in these areas.
Side Ports: Air channels are integrated into the heart of the racket for improved maneuverability and reduced air resistance.
Dural Moulded: The frame is made with Dural Moulding technology for extra durability and performance.
3 Tips on How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Padel Racket
Use a frame protector
Apply a frame protector to your racket to minimize damage from hits against the glass walls or the fence. This simple addition can significantly extend the lifespan of your racket by protecting it from knocks and scratches.
Avoid extreme temperatures
Store your racket in a room with stable temperatures. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or a cold garage, as extreme temperatures can weaken the materials and affect the racket’s performance over time.
Transport your racket safely
Always keep your racket in a bag or a cover to protect it from scratches, dirt, and knocks. This is especially important when traveling or storing the racket between games, as proper storage reduces wear and tear.
3 Tips on How to Get the Most Out of Your Padel Racket
Choose the right racket for your level and style
Pick a racket that suits your playing level and preferred style of play. Beginners might benefit from a racket with a larger sweetspot, while advanced players often prefer a more precise or powerful racket tailored to their game.
Replace your overgrip regularly
Changing the overgrip frequently keeps your racket feeling fresh and ensures a firm, comfortable grip. Worn-out grips can lead to slipping and strain on your hand during play.
Upgrade your racket when needed
Over time, the foam in the core of the racket loses its performance, resulting in reduced power and control. If you’ve used the same racket for several seasons or notice a drop in performance, consider investing in a new one to maintain your game at its best.
