In shortPlayers describe it as very light and manoeuvrable, a favourite at the net, with a stiff feel that several find easy on the arm. The clear downside is a small sweet spot that makes off-centre hits die, and it demands good technique. A few players disagree and find it forgiving.

Moved from the Hyper Pro 2.0 to the Ultimate Pro Light 2026 and loves it: at about 357 g it is much more manoeuvrable at the net. The downside is less pace on groundstrokes and smashes for the same effort.
“I recently moved from Hyper Pro 2.0 to UP Light 2026 and I love it! I find that the lighter weight (approx 357g total) makes it much more maneuverable at the net, compared to the Hyper Pro.”
A game changer for their tennis elbow: with the stock grip swapped for three overgrips, far less vibration and much easier control; three matches a day with only slight discomfort versus pain halfway through a match with their old Nox.
“I’ve been using the Oxdog Ultimate Pro Light 2026 and honestly… game changer.”
Uses the Ultimate Pro Light: superb build, but a small sweet spot that demands good technique; they found it so hard to master that they are selling it.
“sweet spot is small, and you really need good technique and follow through to be able to use them properly.”
Excellent build quality, crisp and not head-heavy, good from the baseline and at the net, but very unforgiving defending off the glass: the small sweet spot must be hit or the ball dies.
Great racket with amazing manoeuvrability and good build quality once you adapt to its very small sweet spot; expensive.
“Great racket, maneuverability is amazing, once tou get used to the very small sweet spot!”
Owned the Ultimate Pro Light 2026: amazing maneuverability, a beast for volleys with power and accuracy, very easy to control.
“I owned the Ultimate Pro Light 2026, amazing maneuverability. Absolute beast for volleys, amazing volley Power and accuracy, very easy to control”
Easy to move and shines at the net thanks to its stiffness, though the small sweet spot can be annoying.
“its a sick racket, easy to move and It really shines at the net especially being so stiff I can hit quit hard and flat.”
Bought the Ultimate Pro Light after an EA10: very manoeuvrable, light yet powerful, but the sweet spot is small and the ball dies outside it.
With elbow flare-ups caused by weight rather than hardness, settled on the Ultimate Pro Light: a hard racket at 346 g that is perfect for them and pain-free unless they overplay.
“Settled on the oxdog ultimate pro light. Hard racket, 346g with overgrip. Perfect racket for me.”
A love/hate relationship with the Ultimate Pro Light: a great tool but demanding, with a narrow sweet spot.
“The sweetspot is pretty narrow and there's a big on/off effect if you don't hit perfectly”
Disagrees about the sweet spot: finds the Pro Light forgiving, a great racket.
“I can hit anywhere and it’s still goes over the net, it is not only forgiving but giving”
Calls the Ultimate Pro Light a beast but with a small sweet spot.
“Ultimate pro light is a beast but small sweet spot”
Played the Ultimate Pro Light: less power and a smaller sweet spot than the Hyper Pro 2.0.
“I have played with the Ultimate pro light, less power compared to hyper pro 2.0 and smaller sweetspot”
Their Ultimate Pro Light 2026 is very light (346 g), has no trampoline effect and swings fast, with enough power if you have the skills; they're keeping it.
“Hi, i have the ultimate pro light 2026. Very light, mine is 346 without original grip and 1 overgrip.”
A padel coach who owns it and finds it excellent: the only racket that has held up to their basket-feeding sessions, with no pain after six hours.
“Soy Entrenador de Pádel, y la tengo, es excelente, no solo como paleta , sino que es la única que duro a los golpes , y no me duele nada después de dar 6 horas de canasto”
Owns the Ultimate Pro Light alongside an AT10 12K and a Metalbone HRD+: it has the hardest feel of the three and handles almost as easily as the AT10.
Prefers the Coello Motion: the Ultimate Pro Light is good, but its tiny sweet spot is a handicap on fast balls.
“The Pro Light is good, but its sweet spot is a real handicap for fast balls. Zero tolerance!”
The Pro Light's feel wasn't for them; their similarly light Metalbone and Fenix have much bigger sweet spots.
“The feel of the pro light wasn’t for me.”
Tried the Ultimate Pro Light and found the Ultimate Tour X more stable and easier.
“I have tried the Ultimate Pro Light as well and I find the Ultimate Tour X more stable and easier to use.”
