What is the difference between the Oxdog Pure Pro+ and Pure Tour X 2026?

The Pro+ is heavier 370g , harder and head-heavy. The Tour X weighs 365g with a medium core and balance, so it feels softer and more versatile.

Is the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 a power or a control racket?

Control first. It gives precision and stability, with good smash output only when you swing fast and hit the ball clean.

Is the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 round or hybrid?

Oxdog calls it hybrid. Several reviewers describe it as close to round in feel, with a high balance that puts extra weight in the head.

How does the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 compare with the Wilson Endure Pro?

The Wilson is round and head-light, and reviewers found it easier in defense. The Oxdog responds better when you accelerate and hit hard.

What changed from the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2025?

Little on paper. Weight, hard core and HES Carbon face carry over, and Oxdog does not claim a structural change for 2026.

Is the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 arm-friendly?

Moderately. It has vibration damping, but the hard core and head weight make it less comfortable than softer control rackets.

8.2

Conclusion

The Pure Pro+ 2026 stays stable and precise under pressure, with a sweet spot that is generous for a hard racket. It suits advanced players who build points and swing through the ball, not developing players or anyone after easy power. The trade-off: power and comfort drop quickly on a short or late swing.

Padel Racket Review - Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026

Name: Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026
Brand: Oxdog

Oxdog · 2026

Reviewed & Researched by Kaj Kloezeman

Developing all-court player focused on consistency and comfort

Always gets an "A" for effort from the coach. That tells you enough about his technique.

The Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 is the top model in the Pure line, the Swedish brand's control-first family next to the power-led Ultimate and the all-round Hyper. Oxdog calls the shape hybrid, although several reviewers play it like a round racket. It is firm and fairly heavy: around 370g with the weight up in the head, a hard foam core and a sandy carbon face that grips the ball. A removable 8g weight lets you fine-tune the balance.

The 2026 edition keeps the recipe of the 2025 Pure Pro+ that launched the line. The spec sheet reads almost the same and Oxdog does not claim a structural change, so expect the same character as last year. Full price is around €299.

What the Reviewers Say

What the reviewers say

Reviewers agree on the core: a control racket with a firm, direct response that asks for good technique in return. They split on how forgiving it is.

On the Total Padel channel, Aladdin found it “a little too demanding, maybe because it is a bit heavy, so you need to get used to it”, though he liked its stability and enjoyed going aggressive on the smash. His guest Chris Edwards of Tennis Warehouse liked the mass on awkward balls at the net and noticed that the faster he swung on overheads, the better it performed. Both preferred the softer Pure Tour X overall.

Joffrey Gilant of Esprit Padel Shop put the Pure Pro+ first in his 2026 control picks. He described a stiff racket where the ball hardly sinks into the face: “there is none of that elastic effect, which is why it gives you even more control than a classic racket.”

Ignacio Álvarez De Mon compared it with the Wilson Endure Pro. He found less easy depth on defensive shots and said the sweet spot “does not always forgive as much, but when you hit it well, the ball comes out perfectly.” His conclusion: a racket for players who want control plus some power.

The written reviews are kinder on forgiveness. PadelVerdict scores control 8.8 and sweet spot 8.6, with power its lowest mark at 7.4. Padelful calls the sweet spot unusually large for such a firm feel. The fair reading: generous for a hard racket, but still a hard racket.

How it plays..

Our take: Kaj's summary

The Pure Pro+ pays back a fast, clean swing and gives little to a late or short one. The sweet spot is generous for its class, but the hard core and head weight still offer little comfort on off-centre hits and ask a lot of the arm over a long match. Players whose technique is still settling will get more from the Pure Tour X. Players with a reliable swing get a precise, stable racket that rewards patience.

Defense

From the back it is precise and stable. Chris Edwards found that off the glass the weight carries the ball back without much effort, and Padelful notes that lobs and chiquitas land where you aim them. The cost is free depth: Ignacio Álvarez De Mon got less ball output on soft defensive shots than with the Wilson Endure Pro, so you need to swing through the ball.

Attack

Power is there, but you have to make it. The high balance and hard core reward a full, fast swing on the smash, and both Total Padel testers liked it overhead once they committed. With a short or tired swing the ball comes out slower than from Oxdog's Ultimate rackets. The sandy face helps you put spin on víboras and bandejas.

Netplay

At the net the extra mass helps on low volleys and half volleys. Chris Edwards found it pushes those balls back deep and with pace. Reviewers differ on speed in quick exchanges: Ignacio Álvarez De Mon found the higher balance helps move the tip, while PadelVerdict warns the head weight can feel slow.

Our Advice for New Players

Not a beginner racket. At 370g with a hard core and a high balance, it asks too much. In this line the Pure Court is the entry point, and the Total Padel testers called it beginner friendly.

Our Advice for Intermediate Players

Strong intermediates with a full, clean swing can make it work, especially defensive players who build points from the right. If your timing is still inconsistent or your arm is sensitive, the Pure Tour X is the safer pick: lighter, softer and more evenly balanced.

Competitive level

This is where it fits best. Advanced players who defend well, like to close the net and want precision under pressure will get the most from it. Pure attackers who want free power on the smash are better served by the Ultimate range.

How It Compares

How it compares

Wilson Endure Pro V1: also a control racket for point builders, but round and head-light. Ignacio Álvarez De Mon found the Wilson easier in defense, while the Pure Pro+ responds better when you accelerate. Pick the Wilson for easier defense and touch, the Oxdog for more punch from a control profile.
Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2025: last year's edition with a near-identical spec sheet. Oxdog does not claim a structural change for 2026, so a discounted 2025 model is a sensible alternative.
Oxdog Pure Tour X 2026: the lighter (365g), softer, evenly balanced sibling. Both Total Padel testers preferred it overall, and it is the better choice for most intermediates.
