review

Some rackets try to please everyone. The Ultimate Pro+ is not one of them. It’s built from the ground up for the player who knows exactly what they want: to attack with authority, generate spin on every volley, and dominate fast rallies both at the net and when things get difficult from the baseline. The combination of diamond shape, high balance, and hard core is the most demanding formula on the market — and Oxdog has executed it with enough comfort to keep it from feeling intimidating in the right player’s hands.

The hard core delivers maximum control over the direction and depth of each shot, though it demands that the player puts more energy into every impact. The sandy surface finish of the HES Carbon is the key ally here: that extra grip on the ball allows you to generate brutal spin on smashes and overhead volleys, making shots far harder for opponents to return. Technologies such as PowerRibs, the DSH double perforation system, Vibradamp, and the RBS (Racket Balance System) with a removable 8-gram weight complete a racket designed with no detail left to chance.

Who is the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ for?

This racket is aimed at male players at professional or very advanced level who want the most offensive tool in the Oxdog catalogue. It is the racket of choice for the brand’s competitive players, and that says a great deal about what it offers.

The ideal profile is the player who has mastered their technique, who moves up to the net with the intention of winning the point, and who looks for a smash that the opponent simply cannot return. The high balance and hard core work together to maximise power and control in the aerial game, while the racket’s design maintains a surprising agility for such an offensive tool. According to the manufacturer, it remains comfortable even from the baseline and manageable in defence — something that cannot always be said of the most extreme rackets in this category.

That said, it’s worth being clear: the hard core combined with the high balance and 370-gram weight is not suitable for players with epicondylitis or elbow sensitivity. The Vibradamp reduces vibrations noticeably, but it does not compensate for the structural stiffness of a racket of this profile. This is a racket for those who are physically prepared to play with it.

Pros and cons of the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+

Pros

  • The racket of choice for Oxdog’s professional players: this is no empty marketing argument. The fact that the brand’s competitive players choose it as their primary racket is a clear signal of what it delivers under real, high-demand playing conditions.
  • Hard core for maximum control and precision: the hard core provides a very direct response on every shot, allowing the ball to be placed with an accuracy that softer cores cannot match in the hands of a technical player.
  • Sandy surface for devastating spin: the extra grip of the HES Carbon on the ball multiplies spin on smashes, volleys, and overhead shots, adding a tactical dimension that makes the difference in key moments.
  • High balance for explosive shots at the net: the weight concentrated in the upper zone amplifies ball exit speed in the aerial game, giving a clear advantage on smashes and high volleys.
  • PowerRibs for consistent power across the entire frame: the lateral rails extend the effective striking zone and reduce the penalty on impacts that don’t land at the centre of the sweet spot.
  • Adjustable RBS for personalised balance: the removable 8-gram weight allows the player to slightly moderate the balance if needed, offering a degree of adaptability in a racket with a very defined character.

Cons

  • Strongly inadvisable for elbow problems: hard core, high balance, and highly reactive carbon form the most aggressive combination for the arm. The Vibradamp helps, but it is not enough for players with active epicondylitis or a frequent history of injury.
  • Demands a high level of technique without exception: the hard core does not forgive errors. A poorly executed shot is far more noticeable than with a medium or soft core. This racket rewards refined technique and penalises the lack of it.
  • 370 grams with high balance — physically demanding: in long or high-intensity matches, the weight combined with the balance can cause fatigue in the arm and shoulder. Good physical conditioning is required to get the most out of it throughout the entire session.

Final verdict on the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+

The analysis of the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ leaves no room for doubt: this is the most demanding and most offensive racket in the brand’s entire catalogue. It’s not for everyone — and that’s precisely what makes it so good for those it is for. Its profile is so clearly defined that any player who picks it up immediately knows whether it’s the right racket for them or not.

The combination of hard core, HES Carbon with sandy surface finish, and high balance builds a tool designed to win points — not to accumulate rallies. The fact that it is the racket of choice for Oxdog’s professional players in competition says everything about its real-world performance level.

Our verdict on the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ is unequivocal: if you have the technical level, the physical conditioning, and the offensive playing style to get the most out of it, this 2026 season offering is one of the most serious options on the market in its category. A racket for players who don’t come to the court just to take part.

THICKNESS

The racket thickness refers to the width of the profile and is usually regulated, with a standard maximum of 38 mm. This aspect influences the stability, power and durability of the racket during play.

Rackets with greater thickness offer a more solid and stable structure, resulting in better performance on powerful shots. On the other hand, a well-balanced standard thickness allows for a good combination of control, power and maneuverability.

In practice, most modern rackets comply with the maximum allowed thickness, so the main differences usually come from the internal construction and materials rather than the thickness itself.

PROFESSIONAL PLAYER

The professional player indicates whether the racket is associated with or has been developed alongside a player from the professional circuit. This usually means it includes high-performance technologies and features, designed for a demanding level of play. However, just because a racket is used by a professional doesn’t mean it’s the best option for everyone, as many are intended for players with good technique and experience.

PLAYING STYLE

The playing style (power, control or all-round) indicates what type of game the racket is designed for based on its performance on court. Control rackets stand out for their precision, maneuverability and large sweet spot, making them ideal for players who prioritize placement and consistency in every shot. Power rackets are designed for a more aggressive style of play, offering greater hitting power and ball output on attacking shots, although they tend to be more demanding and less forgiving.

Finally, all-round rackets aim to provide a balance between control and power, making them a very versatile option for players who want to adapt to different game situations. Choosing the right style will depend on how you play and whether you prefer to control the point or finish it with power.

SURFACE

The racket surface refers to the finish of the face and can be smooth, rough or sand-textured. Smooth surfaces provide a cleaner and more consistent hit, with more natural sensations on every shot, and are common in beginner or more affordable rackets. On the other hand, rough or sand-textured surfaces are designed to enhance spin, as they increase ball grip on shots like topspin or slice, allowing for greater rotation.

This finish can be integrated directly into the material or applied as an external layer, and is increasingly common in intermediate and advanced level rackets, especially among players looking for greater control over spin and a more technical style of play.

LEVEL

The racket level (beginner, intermediate or advanced/professional) indicates the type of player it is designed for based on their experience and technique. Beginner rackets are usually more comfortable, featuring a large sweet spot, greater control and ease of use, making them ideal for learning and building confidence on court. Intermediate rackets aim to provide a balance between control and power, allowing players to progress and start defining their playing style.

Advanced or professional rackets, on the other hand, are designed for players with solid technique, offering greater precision, power and performance, but also being more demanding on each shot. Choosing the right level is key to enjoying the game and avoiding frustration, as a racket that is too demanding can slow down your progress.

FRAME

The racket frame is the structure that surrounds the entire racket and provides stiffness, stability and durability. It is usually made primarily of carbon fiber, especially in mid-range and high-end rackets, as it offers greater strength and better resistance to impacts and twisting. In more basic models, it may also include fiberglass, providing a bit more flexibility. A good frame not only improves performance but also helps extend the racket’s lifespan against impacts and regular use.

PLAYER

The player type (men, women or kids) is a general classification used by brands to adapt aspects such as weight, size and maneuverability of the racket. For example, women’s rackets are usually lighter and easier to handle, while kids’ rackets are designed to provide maximum control and comfort during the learning stage.

However, this is not a strict rule: a woman can perfectly play with a men’s racket if it suits her preferences, just as some men prefer women’s rackets because they are lighter and easier to handle. Ultimately, this classification serves as a starting guide, but what really matters is choosing a racket that matches your level, playing style and comfort on court.

CORE

The racket core is the material inside the racket and one of the most important factors in overall feel. The most commonly used material is EVA foam, a durable and resilient material that offers an excellent balance between control, power and ball output. Depending on its density, it can be softer or harder: softer EVA provides more comfort, better vibration absorption and easier ball output, while harder EVA delivers a firmer feel, greater precision and extra power on aggressive shots.

In addition, EVA foam stands out for maintaining its properties over time, resulting in a longer lifespan and more consistent performance. For this reason, it is the preferred choice in most modern rackets, especially in mid-range and high-end models.

FEEL

The racket feel refers to the sensation it provides on impact and mainly depends on the materials used in the face and core. A hard racket offers greater power and precision, as the ball rebounds less and allows for more technical control, but it requires good technique and may feel less comfortable.

On the other hand, a soft racket provides more ball output, better vibration absorption and greater comfort, making it more forgiving on off-center shots and easier to play with, especially for beginner and intermediate players. In addition, hard rackets are generally not recommended for players with elbow pain, as they absorb fewer vibrations.

Choosing one or the other will depend on the player’s level and the type of feel they are looking for on court.

COLOR

The racket color refers to the aesthetic design of the model and does not directly affect performance on court. However, it can be an important visual factor, as many brands use bold or elegant color combinations to differentiate their ranges and match each player’s style.

SHAPE

The racket shape directly influences playing style and on-court feel. The main shapes are round, teardrop and diamond: the round shape offers maximum control and a large sweet spot, the teardrop provides a balance between control and power, and the diamond is designed for offensive players seeking maximum power, with a higher sweet spot.

In addition, some brands develop hybrid or geometric shapes, combining features from different formats to deliver more balanced performance or to suit specific playing styles.

WEIGHT

The racket weight is one of the most important factors when choosing a racket, as it directly affects maneuverability, power and comfort during play. It generally ranges between 355 and 375 grams: lighter rackets offer greater control and ease of movement, while heavier ones provide more power, although they can be more physically demanding if the right weight is not chosen.

In general, women’s rackets tend to be lighter, men’s rackets slightly heavier, and kids’ rackets even lighter, adapting to the needs of each type of player.

BALANCE

El balance de la pala indica cómo se distribuye el peso a lo largo de la misma. Puede ser bajo, medio o alto, y determina en gran medida el comportamiento en pista: un balance bajo ofrece mayor control y manejabilidad, un balance medio aporta equilibrio, y un balance alto proporciona más potencia en los golpes, aunque puede resultar menos cómodo para algunos jugadores.

FACE

The racket face is the surface that comes into contact with the ball and one of the elements that most influences the feel on impact. It is usually made of carbon fiber, fiberglass or a combination of both, offering different levels of stiffness, power and control.

In the case of carbon, there are different types such as 3K, 6K, 12K or 18K, which refer to the number of filaments and largely determine the stiffness and response of the racket. It is the most commonly used material in advanced or professional-level rackets.

On the other hand, fiberglass is softer and more flexible, and is commonly found in beginner or intermediate rackets due to its greater comfort and ease of use.

YEAR

The racket year indicates the season in which the model was released. Each year, brands typically update their rackets with new versions, although in some cases models remain unchanged for two seasons.
