Padel Racket First look - Oxdog Ultimate Woman Air 2026

Oxdog says its HES-Carbon is highly reactive and rigid, and that it turns more of your swing into power while making the racket last longer. PowerRibs, rails on the frame, are meant to add power, cut vibration and improve balance. The DSH hole pattern, with holes of two sizes, is Oxdog's answer to off-centre hits: the brand says it keeps the racket playable outside the sweet spot. Vibradamp puts four silicone inserts under the grip to reduce vibration, and the RBS system lets you unscrew the weight in the cap to make the head lighter or keep it as it is.

Oxdog describes the result as a racket that combines control and power, with the sand surface giving grip on the ball for spin and the low weight making it easy to move. Retailer Extreme Tennis lists a swingweight of 157.5, a twistweight of 16.9 and a frame stiffness of 88 RA, and places it with aggressive players. Sport of Padel's guide to the 2026 women's collection calls the Ultimate Woman Air the rigid, attacking option of the pair and the Hyper Woman Air 2.0 the forgiving all-rounder. At the time of writing we found no hands-on video review of this exact model.

On paper, the closest sibling is the Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light 2026. It has the same 350g weight and diamond head, but a firmer medium-plus core and a standard handle, so it should hit a little harder and feel stiffer. The Ultimate Woman Air, with its medium core and slim grip, looks like the easier of the two to swing for players with smaller hands.

The other choice is inside the women's collection itself. The Oxdog Hyper Woman Air 2.0 is a teardrop at 345g with the same medium core and medium balance. Its wider sweet spot should make it easier in defense and in long rallies, while the Ultimate Woman Air gives up some of that margin for more reach and pace overhead. There is no earlier Ultimate Woman Air to compare against: this is the first version.
