Padel Racket Review - Pallap Evoforce Team Blue 2026

What the reviewers say

The four reviews agree on the basics. This is a very light, very quick racket that forgives off-centre hits and suits players from beginner to intermediate level. Padel Magazine's Stéphane Penso, who tested both versions, found the handling so easy that "one instantly gains in arm speed, particularly in volley duels at the net". The tester at pdhsports, who played it as the Team Silver, praised the stable frame and the centred sweet spot, and said the racket moves so quickly that he always had time in defense.

They disagree on feel. Penso describes the Blue as the firmer of the two versions, rigid and dry with an instant response, while the Pink is the soft, damped one. pdhsports found the opposite. To him the Carbon CX face felt elastic, softer than the Pink, and the ball flew off it with little effort. He warned that "if you're a bit more advanced, you might find that it comes off the racket a bit too fast".

Two reviews of the Team Pink add context on the shared build. In a separate video, pdhsports was surprised by how much power the light frame gives on overheads, but admitted that "you can lose control a little bit" because the racket moves so fast. Padelspeed put it more positively, noting that "a lighter racket does not automatically mean a weak racket."

Our take: Bowe's summary

At this weight the Team Blue gets to the ball everywhere, and that speed is the main reason to buy it. The feel is harder to pin down, since one tester calls the face dry and another calls it elastic. Players who want a crisp, predictable face for placing the ball should hit with it before buying, and those who find it too lively will get more control from the firmer Evoforce Brightstar.

Defense is where the low weight pays off. The racket comes through quickly off the glass, and lobs need very little swing. Because the ball can leave the face faster than expected, soft blocks and resets need a light hand.

In attack it gives more than its weight suggests. With a fast swing, flat overheads, bandejas and rulos come off easily, and pdhsports sent a few balls out of the court with little effort. It lacks the mass to push through the ball, though, so players who hit hard from the back line will find the light head runs out of punch.

At the net, the light, handle-leaning balance makes reflex volleys easy, and Penso felt far more reactive than usual in fast exchanges. Players who like to punch their volleys hard may find it light on the ball.

How it compares

• Pallap Evoforce Team Pink 2026: the same mould, foam, frame and weight with a 15K Alumatrix face. Padel Magazine found the Pink the softer, more damped version, while pdhsports found it the firmer one. The choice comes down to colour and, ideally, a test hit.
• Pallap Evoforce Brightstar 2026: about 10g heavier, with a firmer two-layer core and an even larger sweet spot. Pick the Brightstar for a crisper feel and more punch, the Team Blue for lower weight and a lower price.
