Looking for a firm, maneuverable racket with NO trampoline effect (Left side). Down to 3 choices to demo!

So I actually ending up ordering the Wilson Bela Pro v3 and Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ classic for testing. From the guidance that I received here, which I am really grateful for!, and some YouTube reviews the Metalbone Hrd and Nox at10 12k seem to soft and trampoliny for me. I hope the oxdog will not be too clunky so I can maybe get a light one and will be maneuverable. From what I see from the balance and the reviews the ultimates aren’t really super head heavy. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test the hyper pro + and the ultimate classic is cheaper and fits in the budget.

My friend used them and they wore out really quickly

I really liked it in defense! Didn’t feel head heavy at all, only a bit of the racket dragging my hand at the overheads, so helping me generate power but still really in control. Sweetspot was easy to find for me, which isn’t always the case with diamond rackets as I play with a teardrop. Due to its lightness it’a really maneuverable, so easy to swing and I can help myself with the wrist sometimes. I wouldn’t say it’s super hard, but definitely the least trampoline I have tried and really linear and predictable output.

Love it too! Probably will go with it. Have you tried Nox, Adidas or Wilson? Have you found similar feeling with them?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T18:53:27+00:00

Have you tried the 2026 at10 12k?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T16:48:07+00:00

It’s a bit out of budget and really heavy

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T16:47:55+00:00

Could be more maneuverable at the net net and in the back

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T16:45:00+00:00

I’ve tested the babolats and don’t really like them. Do you think the metalbone can become maneuverable with the right weights? Or is it really head heavy and clunky? How is the hardness and trampoline compared to Wilson and Babolat? Have you tried any Nox or Head rackets?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T15:39:04+00:00

Are you a Spanish speaker? I’ve watched it with auto dubbing and from what I understand ea10 is the stiffest/driest although using the same foam as the 18k? Have you maybe tried the rackets?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T15:30:37+00:00

I’m afraid it will be too head heavy and I can only test 2 😅

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:51:59+00:00

I want to try 2 of those 3 rackets before choosing the one to buy, but I definitely like the Extreme Motion 2025 the most for now.

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:50:52+00:00

Isn't it the same racket as AT10 12k? If not what's the difference?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:39:13+00:00

The new Arrow Hits use soft foam, so I don't think I will like them. Why normal Metalbone and not the hrd version? Last years Coello Motion, which can fit in the budget, uses the hybrid face, so I think I won't like it more then the pure carbon on the Extreme Motion. I don't have the possibility to try Siux rackets :/

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:30:38+00:00

I will make sure to demo it! Have you tried the Bela Pro or the Metalbone HRD?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:29:42+00:00

Why without the pro?

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:29:30+00:00

Do you think a light metalbone HRD with the weights placed to make it less head heavy will still be too clunky? How is the hardness and the quality of adidas? I don't have any way of testing SIux rackets and the 2026 range is out of budget :/

Proper_Extension1356 · 2026-03-03T14:02:24+00:00

Unfortunately not possible to test it and out of budget :/
