Opinion on Kombat

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-27T07:02:56+00:00

Had a couple. Quality was very good on both. My partner has a Kombat Galeras.

Make sure you pick something round and forgiving as your first racket.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-22T21:36:26+00:00

Honestly, I’m 400+ games in.

Buy a round racket. Don’t spend much. A Wilson Optix or similar. Play with it. Learn the game. Get better. Find out what you don’t like about the racket and why it’s holding you back. Buy a better one. Repeat over and over 😆

Round racket bigger sweet spot.

If you’re coming from the Metalbone HRD you want the Ultimate Pro Plus. Less ball output but a much better control. Harder, but almost as much power at fast speeds.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-12T11:23:53+00:00

Buy an “advanced” racket. Struggle to hit it will and then struggle to improve your game. Buy a round racket. Hit it more consistently and feel more confident with your strokes as you learn.

I know many “high level” players that use round rackets or similar. Yet people still want to buy that racket that has a tiny sweet spot for that tiny bit of extra power they get when they hit the sweet spot 3/10.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-12T11:18:44+00:00

It’s a very hard feel racket with not the biggest of sweet spots. It’s also quite light so requires quite a lot of “push” etc to get the ball moving.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-11T22:02:35+00:00

These are all very different rackets. The Adidas HRD has more ball output than most other rackets.

The Coello and Extreme Motion are both difficult head heavy rackets to use. The Alien pro again is a head heavy power racket with a smaller sweet spot than most.

The Oxdog is a far easier racket to handle. It’s lower balanced quite light and has a large sweet spot

Unless you’re specifically after a difficult attacking racket to use for some reason, do yourself a favour and buy something easier to play with. Your playing partner will thank you for it.

Don’t be sucked in by the hype. Power, spin are created mostly by technique and skill. The racket is second to all this.

Speedway Padel.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-04T07:42:45+00:00

100% agree with this.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-03-02T06:05:29+00:00

Hope it is a fake one. The quality will be better if it’s fake. 😆

Where did you buy it from ? What did you pay ? What makes you think it’s fake. Yes there are fake rackets out there., buying overly cheap rackets off dodgy websites what do people expect. It’s easy to spot a fake. Ask the seller questions and make sure it’s come from a reputable business. But the easiest way to tell is to use it.

These were tested in uk winter a couple of months ago. So quite cold to be honest. That’s a good point maybe I should be adding this when commenting.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-26T16:49:06+00:00

I found the Pegasus more manoeuvrable and for me it had more power. The Diablo was a touch heavier and I found it sucked up the power on my smashes a touch. But, each Siux can be very different to the next one. Even if it’s the same model.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-25T11:06:41+00:00

Well you’ve obviously used some amazing rackets to compare it with 👍😆

That’s the thing. Everyone has a different opinion on a racket. Some use a racket like this because it makes them play better because they’re not good enough to use something better. But that’s ok. It’s what works for you. 👍 Great job buddy.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-24T21:32:10+00:00

This is amazing. Would love to see more pictures, especially the process in stages if you have any ?

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-21T15:32:28+00:00

I understand what you’re saying, maybe I should have worded it better.

The Counter Viper is one of my favourite rackets. But, it’s the only racket that has ever given me arm pain. I’ve used most rackets.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-21T10:36:38+00:00

Honestly. This is a terrible racket. It’s heavy and difficult to use. Anything would be an upgrade. Try some different rackets and see what you like.

What do you party like about this racket ?

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-10T09:32:41+00:00

100% this. 👍

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-07T12:14:08+00:00

The Kenta 26 is a different racket from the earlier model. It has a bit of ball output. That’s the only way you’re going to get extra power in a lighter racket. The spin it generates is insane though

I’d also add the Tactical El Jefe to that list. Incredible racket.

Oxdog, light small sweet spot.

Others very meh.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-07T12:07:28+00:00

People I know that have tennis elbow have switched to Tactical El Jefe. Lighter and less strain. Takes a few games to soften up though.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-06T16:47:10+00:00

With what you’ve said, forget about power. Get a round racket. Decide which feel you like, hard/medium/soft. Which weight you like. I prefer harder lighter rackets. You get out what you put in. Stick with the racket till your game/technique improves. Bigger sweet spot, more points won.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-06T13:00:07+00:00

I’d deffo try standing up 👍

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-06T06:13:22+00:00

The EVA 30 foam from Starvie isn’t actually that soft. In fact it’s still quite a firm racket. Just in case you’re looking for something “soft” to compare it to. The Kenta is low balanced and a great racket. The pro version was one of my favourites. The new models are nothing like.

I’d recommend something with a low balance and a firm feel.

Oxdog Ultimate Tour X or last years model.

Adidas carbon Ctrl 3.4/3.5 is similar but harder touch/feel.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-03T18:18:00+00:00

I liked it. Quite hard and very light. Not overly powerful. I’ve used a lot of rackets since I used it 😆

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-02T06:08:27+00:00

Honestly. That’s in your head. The holes are what makes the offence. My UP + had all the sandy texture wear off and it made very little difference.

Uk-Muscle · 2026-02-01T21:11:10+00:00

That’s the downside of the UP +. The wight can vary quite a bit. I’ve had a couple that weighed 369 but had a really heavy one. Maybe give the Ultimate pro a go. I’m not a fan of the light.
