Design, build and the hybrid round profile
The channel describes the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2025 as the brand’s most “complete” Pro Plus to date, blending traits from the Hyper and Ultimate into a new, elongated round profile. Officially “hybrid,” it looks and plays like a stretched round with a wider, more open heart reminiscent of the Pro Smash, plus lateral ribs that slim the bridge and keep the frame stiff without feeling blocky. The face is sandblasted for bite, and the layup uses Oxdog’s full-carbon construction with HES carbon and a hard EVA core.
Power ribs are placed in the lower zone on the Pure Pro+ (mid on Hyper Pro+, upper on Ultimate Pro+), subtly shaping where the frame stores energy. The 13 cm handle has a square, tennis-like geometry—very “Head TK2” in feel—giving extra leverage for two-finger adjustments and overhead grip changes.
Measured specs, balance options and swing feel
The reviewer weighed a sample at 370 g including the lanyard, around 365 g effectively. Oxdog’s removable butt-cap piece adds 8 g, and the balance shifts depending on how you configure it. With the butt weight installed and an overgrip, the measured balance was about 25.8 cm. Bare, without overgrip and without the butt weight, balance moved up to roughly 26.6–26.7 cm. With the base weight in, it sits closer to 26.0 cm. The creator preferred it with the butt weight to “carry the mass” more naturally.
- Weight: 370 g stated; ~365 g without lanyard
- Removable butt-cap weight: 8 g
- Balance: ~26.6–26.7 cm bare; ~26.0 cm with base weight; ~25.8 cm with overgrip
- Shape: elongated round (hybrid)
- Face material: HES carbon (full carbon)
- Core: hard EVA
- Surface: sandblasted
- Handle length: 13 cm
As with other Oxdog Pro+ frames, the swing never feels like a “brick-on-the-head.” The channel notes a dense, “full” build that spreads mass intelligently, improving stability without dumping all the weight at the tip.
Price positioning within Oxdog’s Pro Plus range
A key talking point is price: the Pure Pro+ lists around €279, typically about €50 less than the Ultimate Pro+ and Hyper Pro+ models that sit near €329. The reviewer repeatedly asks, “where’s the catch?” then suggests there might not be one—this is strategic positioning for a model that merges top-tier build with broader playability.
Backcourt control, sweet spot and ball release
From the baseline, the channel finds it one of the year’s standout options. Versus the Hyper Pro+, it shows more ball output, a larger sweet spot and a touch more “substance,” making defensive recovery and neutralizing balls easier.
The impact is dry but not punishing, and the sweet spot sits in the medium-to-medium-high area. The head feels more present than on Hyper (but less than Ultimate), offering reassuring stability when stretched. Spin is excellent thanks to the sandblasted face. Importantly, the hard core still asks for some activation: intermediate technique is needed to unlock its ball release on lobs and deep counter shots. When you give it that, it responds with pace and control.
Net play, touch and reaction volleys in practice
At the net, the Pure Pro+ overlaps with the Hyper Pro+ for speed but adds a nudge of extra power and forgiveness. The channel highlights a more generous sweet spot on quick exchanges and a firmer, more stable response when blocking hard drives. Power is on tap for “chancletazo” volleys, while feel and feedback are solid—though the Ultimate Pro+ still edges it for outright sensitivity.
Overall maneuverability is better than Ultimate and slightly easier than Hyper in tight exchanges. It feels “less cumbersome” without losing the planted contact that Oxdog frames are known for.
Overheads and smash: comparing to Hyper and Ultimate
On bandejas and víboras, the racket shines: fluid swing, confident spin, and a head that’s “rightly loaded” rather than heavy. The structure stays stable through the contact, so players don’t need to overswing to access pace.
Flat smashes are good, but the reviewer clarifies they are not as brutally rigid or explosive as the Ultimate Pro+. It sits between the two sisters: more power than Hyper, less than Ultimate. Where it really scores is the kick smash, which the channel calls more generous and easier to repeat thanks to its blend of output, sweet spot and maneuverability.
Comparisons and likely alternatives the channel mentioned
The creator positions the Pure Pro+ as the most rounded Oxdog Pro Plus, suitable for both right and left players. He suggests it can trouble benchmarks like the Babolat Counter Viper (with a touch more power in his view) and sits close to the Siux Electra ST4 concept, offering more control than the earlier ST3. As an “upgrade path,” he points players coming from a Nox ML10 Pro Cup Luxury (full carbon) who dislike soft cores toward the Pure Pro+ for a firmer, livelier response without losing forgiveness.
Oxdog’s pro link is also noted: Arnau Ayats is associated with the model, aligning with its assertive, all-court profile.
Who should choose it and who should pass on it
The reviewer recommends the Pure Pro+ for intermediate to advanced players seeking a single racket that covers defense, build-up and finishing with equal confidence. It is particularly attractive if you want the stability and output of a Pro Plus Oxdog without the stricter demands of the Ultimate.
Skip it if you want maximum diamond-style power and the stiffest, smallest sweet spot (go Ultimate), or if you need an easy, soft round with a very permissive core. It is not a beginner’s frame; it rewards a clean swing and some technical foundation.
