Diamond2026Ranked #3 in Best overall
Light, manoeuvrable diamond with a fairly forgiving sweet spot; a bit less top-end power.
A score out of 100 for how well reviewed a product is next to others of its kind. It rises with positive reviews and with how many there are; negative and mixed reviews take points off. The best in each category scores in the 90s.
So a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product lots of people like. No sponsored placements.

PositiveHas used both the Ultimate Tour X and the Air Viper. Finds the Oxdog more forgiving and more helpful in defence, with better ball output, control, a dry feel, solid power and less strain on the arm; the Viper is more powerful and manoeuvrable. They prefer the Oxdog.

PositiveReally nice one, easy to handle and comfortable, it have quite a lot of easy power as the racket is very reactive so it can take some time to get use to it and feel in total control.

PositiveLoves the Ultimate Tour X: very manoeuvrable, good sweet spot and control with plenty of power, light and easy on the arm.

PositiveBought the Ultimate Tour X after tennis elbow from a Bullpadel Hack 04 Hybrid. It feels very light, and a two-hour session caused no discomfort during or after; it is now their main racket.
Players describe a light, manoeuvrable diamond with strong control, a fairly forgiving sweet spot and good build quality, and many find it easy on the arm. The trade-off is a bit less top-end power. Feel splits opinion, with some finding it too soft and others too stiff.
