Construction and technologies shaping the Ultimate Pro 2025
The channel highlights how Oxdog has stacked the Ultimate Pro 2025 with tech aimed at advanced attackers. The racket combines a diamond mold with a slightly head-heavy setup, pairing the brand’s reactive HES carbon with the signature PowerRibs frame rails to stabilize the hit and channel energy into the ball. Comfort is addressed by the multilayer Vibradamp System in the handle, which the reviewer notes keeps vibrations impressively low for such a powerful frame.
Other details matter on court. The smooth face still “grabs” the ball for effective slice, the DSH (Dynamic Sweet Spot Holes) pattern aims to boost the sweet spot, and the Side Ports in the bridge reduce drag for quicker preparation on high balls. An extended handle rounds out the design, making two-handed backhands and aggressive remates easier to load.
Verified specs: weight, balance, grip and surface
- Official weight: 365 g
- Measured weight: 378 g (with plastic removed; tolerances noted)
- Buttcap weight: 8 g (factory installed)
- Balance point: 26.4 cm (slightly head heavy)
- Shape: diamond
- Face material: HES carbon (high reactivity)
- Core: EVA medium (firm, slightly “dry” feel)
- Surface: smooth (still effective for slice per the reviewer)
- Frame tech: PowerRibs, Vibradamp System, DSH, Side Ports
- Handle: slightly extended for leverage on overheads
Despite the head bias, the creator repeatedly underscores its surprising maneuverability for quick changes and compact volleys.
Net play and volleys: fast maneuvering with firm touch
At the net, the Ultimate Pro 2025 delivers instant pace with a clean, firm impact. The reviewer notes “excellent cuts” even on a smooth face, crediting the overall rigidity and hole pattern for bite. Stability through contact is a recurring theme; the frame resists twisting, and the handle damping keeps the response comfortable for an aggressive volleying style.
For volleys, the channel assigns a clear rating of 9/10, citing easy depth and confident control on quick exchanges.
Overheads and attacking shots: vibora and smash firepower
This is where the racket steals the show. The vibora is described as “stratospheric,” with the high sweet spot and aerodynamic bridge letting the player accelerate late without losing the ball’s line. The bandeja is solid and very manageable, helped by the racket’s quick preparation and the extended handle’s leverage.
On pure power, the remate/smash gets top marks: the channel calls it one of the best-tested for finishing, awarding a 10/10 (with honors). If your game leans on high-ball aggression, this frame is built for it.
Baseline and basic strokes: controlled power despite smaller sweet spot
From the back, the Ultimate Pro 2025 produces heavy ball speed with a “secca” (dry/firm) impact that advanced hitters will appreciate. The reviewer stresses that the sweet spot is not massive, but the racket’s maneuverability and stiffness still unlock penetrating depth on forehand and backhand. Lobs, in particular, are a standout: the face guides the ball high and deep with minimal effort.
For basic strokes (dritto, rovescio, lob), the rating lands at a confident 10/10.
Wall exits and blocking: where it shines and dips
On the low wall exit, the channel praises its blend of control and lift for defensive resets, awarding 9.5/10. The high wall exit is the one area where expectations were slightly higher; the verdict is 8/10, still good but a notch below the rest of its attacking repertoire.
For blocks, the verdict is glowing: 9.5/10. The balance, anti-vibration layout and frame stability make it easy to absorb pace and redirect cleanly without flutter.
Sweet spot position and forgiveness expectations
The reviewer maps the sweet spot as high-central, closer to the top than the middle. This positioning is perfect for overhead dominance but asks for precise contact on scrappy defensive shots. It is a classic trade-off: more power and leverage up high, a touch less forgiveness low on the face.
Price assessment versus Babolat and Adidas peers
Listed at €319, the Oxdog sits below the flagship price tags of rivals like the Babolat model associated with Juan Lebrón (around €390–€400) and the Adidas Metalbone 3.4. Even so, the channel’s price rating is a measured 6.5/10: competitive for the segment, but still a premium ticket—justified by performance, yet not a bargain-bin win.
Who the channel recommends this racket for
The verdict is clear: this is a weapon for advanced and competitive players who finish points from above the net and want maximum ball speed without sacrificing stability. If you are intermediate-advanced or prefer a nimbler swing, the creator suggests considering the Ultimate Pro Light as the more accessible sibling.
The reviewer’s ratings by shot and category
- Volleys: 9/10
- High shots (vibora, bandeja): 10/10
- Basic strokes (forehand, backhand, lob): 10/10
- Low wall exit: 9.5/10
- High wall exit: 8/10
- Blocks: 9.5/10

In short, Oxdog’s Ultimate Pro 2025 is engineered for decisive, top-of-the-trajectory padel—ferocious overheads, biting volleys, and a firm, stable feel that rewards clean technique.
