Diamond2026Ranked #3 in Best overall
Light, manoeuvrable diamond with a fairly forgiving sweet spot; a bit less top-end power.

PositivePlayed the Ultimate Tour X for 3–4 months and preferred it to the Hyper Pro: a little softer, with a more central balance and better control on touch shots like chiquitas, though not much different on smashes. Their unit came out around 370 g with the handle weight, heavier than they wanted.

PositiveHas played the Ultimate Tour X for four months: beautifully made, light and well balanced, with feel and control worth a little lost power. It is firm and dies on low contact, so it rewards good technique.

PositiveHas owned both the Tour X and the Extreme Motion: similar hardness with no trampoline or free power, but the Tour X is more manoeuvrable in defence and at the net, with a rough surface that bites the ball, a fairly big sweet spot and more predictable output.

Positive355g frame with a 26cm balance that whips through the air on víboras and high glass exits. It's got a wider, more forgiving sweet spot than the Ultimate Pro Light, and it stays rock-steady when you're blocking at the net. You won't get the raw smash power of heavier diamond cannons, though, since it prioritizes easy handling.

PositiveThey moved from the Air Viper to the Oxdog Ultimate Tour X and find it dry feeling yet maneuverable, giving up some easy power for much better control and feedback on every shot.

PositiveMoved to the Ultimate Tour X 2026 from a Head Coello Pro that felt heavy over long sessions. A few games in, it gives much better control and is easier to manoeuvre, though they are still finding their smash timing with the lighter weight.

PositiveUses the Ultimate Tour X (355 g without the plate) as their defensive racket: a good sweet spot, better control and a crisper feel than their Electra Pro, though a bit short on power.

PositiveOwns both the Tour X and a 2024 Extreme Motion and plays the Tour X: a medium balance and a very forgiving all-round racket, with a far more forgiving sweet spot and better control on blocks at the net.

PositiveA great all-round racket: great handling, good for placement and blocks, though low ball output on slow defensive balls.

PositiveFeels like an AT10 without the trampoline effect: light, adjustable balance, really good control without losing power.

PositiveAn intermediate who owns the Hyper Pro 2.0 and bought the Ultimate Tour X: amazing, with control and still enough power.

PositiveJust bought the Ultimate Tour X after an ST4 Pro: great control with no trampoline on blocks; power comes from your own swing since it's light.

PositiveBought the Ultimate Tour X and loves it: much more control than the ST4, neither hard nor bouncy, good power, though it absorbs some power on the hardest shots.

PositiveAfter the ST4 and Fenix, they find the Ultimate Tour X a great blend of power and control.
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.
