Adidas padel rackets: standout deals and performance notes
The reviewer begins the roundup with a focus on Adidas, highlighting several models that are now available at significant discounts. The Adidas Crossit 2024 is noted as a racket that many players initially overlooked, but the creator emphasizes its solid power and value, now available for €148.50 after applying the discount code. For those seeking a lighter, more maneuverable option, the Crossit Light 2024—endorsed by Marta Ortega—is praised for its ease of use and is currently priced at €156.60.
The review then turns to the popular Metalbone line, with both the Metalbone Carbon 2024 and Metalbone Carbon CTRL 2024 available for €126 each. The Metalbone CTRL 2024 is also highlighted at €157, but the real attention is given to the Metalbone HRD Plus 2024, which stands out for its unique feel compared to the 2025 version and is offered at a highly competitive €162. The reviewer notes that this is a rare opportunity, as stock is limited and demand is high.
Babolat’s 2024 and 2025 range: key models and market shifts
Moving to Babolat, the creator discusses the evolving landscape of the Air series. The Air Veron 2024 is available for €126, while the Air Viper 2024—a favorite among loyalists—hits a historic low at €162. For those interested in the latest technology, the Air Viper 2025 is now discounted to €234, a notable drop from its original price of €260. The reviewer praises this update, describing it as a well-executed evolution of the line.
In the Counter series, both the Counter Viper 2024 and Counter Veron 2024 are priced similarly, around €153–155 after discounts. The reviewer attributes a spike in interest to Cochigneto’s use of the Counter Viper during his Premier Finals win in Barcelona, which has driven up demand and prices. The creator personally prefers the Viper over the Veron for its feel and performance, though he notes that the 2025 models may bring further changes.
The Technical Veron 2024 is called out as a bargain at €118, and the Technical Veron LeBron 2024 is available for €135. The reviewer observes subtle differences in balance and rigidity between the LeBron and standard Veron models, with the LeBron being slightly stiffer and featuring a higher balance in the 2025 version.
For those seeking top-tier performance, the Technical Viper 2023 and 2024 are available for €126 and €153 respectively, while the LeBron Viper 2024 is now €180. The Viper LeBron 2025 is discounted to €288, a significant reduction from its typical retail price.
Dropshot Axon Attack: pricing and playability insights
The Dropshot Axon Attack series is next, with the 2025 model priced at €275 after discount, which the reviewer feels is still on the high side. The 2024 version, slightly more elastic and tested by the creator, is available for €171–172. While not the lowest price historically, the reviewer notes that this model rarely drops further and stands out for its overall quality and playability.
Head rackets: standout offers and reviewer preferences
Head brings several notable deals. Both the Ceo Pro and Ceo Motion are available for €247.50 after discounts, which the reviewer calls a “bomb” of a deal. The Extreme One, a unique and somewhat niche racket, is priced at €167. The reviewer suggests it as a fun secondary racket, especially for players seeking speed or for technically skilled women.
The Extreme Pro is highlighted at €147.60, appreciated by many for its power and mass, though the reviewer personally finds it a bit heavy. The Gravity Pro is mentioned as a strong value at €140, while the Radical Motion is available for €157. The latter is described as an accessible, diamond-shaped racket that blends control and power, making it a versatile choice for a range of players.
Nox AT Attack series: 2024 vs 2025 and player feedback
In the Nox lineup, the AT Attack 18K 2024 is available for €140, while the AT10 12K 2024 is praised as a clear improvement over the 18K version, now at €120. The AT10 18K, less favored by the reviewer, is still attractively priced at €149. The new AT Attack 2025 models—both 12K and 18K—are described as more aggressive and powerful than their predecessors, with the 12K being slightly stiffer and the 18K offering a bit more ball exit. Both are available for €240 after discount.
The reviewer highlights Nox rackets for their overall maneuverability and comfort, with the AT Attack series representing the brand’s most powerful offerings.
Siux rackets: limited editions and unique characteristics
Siux presents some compelling choices, starting with the ST3 LD (Stupa Limited Edition), now at €144. The reviewer finds it surprising that such a recent release is already so heavily discounted, especially given its dedicated aesthetics and packaging. The Phenix Pro 4, a favorite of both the channel and its audience, is now just €135. The new black version has just launched, but the 2024 model remains an excellent value.
The Siux Spider Light 2 is also mentioned as a standout for those seeking a light, diamond-drop racket with a harder EVA core. Priced at €118, it is compared to the Air Viper series but is noted for being slightly less rigid. The only drawback mentioned is the grip, which can be easily replaced.
Vibora and special “easter egg” releases: rare finds and new launches
The reviewer briefly touches on Vibora, admitting limited experience with the brand but acknowledging its reputation for high prices and strong word-of-mouth. This month, several Black Mamba models—including a Limited Edition—are available at unusually competitive prices, making it a good time for interested players to try them out.
The “easter egg” section reveals four newly launched rackets: Power Star, Control Star, Power Team, and Control Team. These models feature updated sanded surfaces, higher balance points, new drilling patterns, and 15K ultra carbon faces. The reviewer singles out the Power Team as particularly impressive for its lively and playful character, while all four are positioned as excellent year-round values.
