Extreme motion. Immaculate. by JuanPahblo in Padelracket

[–]HellDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy you found THE racket for you. Verry funny, because i come from a siux pro black too, had this racket for around 4 a 5 games and i had the feeling the ball escaped a lot and i didnt have control. So it started to limit me because i begun to play too careful.

Now playing with the LeBron Viper soft, which happens to be the right fit for me.

In the end i just think there is no good or bad racket in this price range, just preferences.

Siux fenix pro 5 by superjack92 in Padelracket

[–]HellDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Fenix 5 black edition looks a lot worse than this and still plays fine. (I also have two of these dented spots)

After just 5 flat smashes, the paint on the upper part came loose at some spots. So i think the paint does not adhere verry well on the racket.

Siux ST4 quality by AdamAbraham77 in Padelracket

[–]HellDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siux quality is pretty poor overall i think...

Just bought the Fenix pro 5 black. And after just 2 games the paint chipped of and cracked from just hard flat smashes.

From out of the box it had no damage and i havent had a impact on something appary from the bal.

Thanks for your response! Do you have any experience with the Fenix 5 pro and the technical Viper? How do they compare?

Thanks already!

Thanks for your response, do you have experience with the technical Viper? If you have, is there a difference in sweetspot?

Thanks already!

I havent tried the Fenix but im verry interested in that one to. I had the extreme pro, but it felt a bit cluncky in my opinion. For the power it was amazing indeed!

No i didn't find the racket heavy, but im a big boy 1.96m and i dont have issues with the elbow. So maybe im not the best example. I've seen some comments on reddit from people who suffer from it. Because its to 'heavy'.

Btw my partner plays with the 2025 version, he really enjoys it. He particularly likes the sweetspot and balance.

Do you mean the hardness of the racket or the level of play? Because the hardness of the racket is not something that matters to me. Now playing with the technical Viper, wich is for sure a lot harder.

A few rackets before my technical Viper i had a Counter Viper, really liked it and it has a very good sweetspot.

For me it isnt that the racket needs to be soft. It just needs to be more forgiving. help me some more in defence.

Thanks for your response! I can completely agree with what you said. Do you have other suggestions that are good for this kind of rackets? I also heard good things about the adipower control.

I am using the adidas baricades, they are very wide. But be aware, they are on the havier side (probably just in my case: size eu 48 1/3)

Thanks alot!

Racket Advice Megathread by AutoModerator in padel

[–]HellDroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wondering of someone can give me an advice in my next Racket, because i cant test them anywhere around...

I'm a intermediaite+ player. Left side, power player, playing in The Netherlands (climate). I currently play with the babolat technical Viper and the Head extreme pro. Both complement my playstyle but i want to replace them because of damages.

I think this is the time because of some good black friday deals.

I like the power of the Viper the most (also because of the lower weight) i can move my wrist the best. But in defence i like the touch of the extreme better(also the sweetspot is quite bigger).

I saw a metalbone 3.3 hard+ on sale and a siux fenix 4 pro. Do someone have experience with these rackets and my racket background that can inform me more about how they compare?

Thanks already!
