They 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.

They tested the Coello and found it bouncy, with a strong trampoline effect that sometimes sends their volleys flying onto the glass.

They loved their previous racket but found it lacked power for their offensive game, and it eventually developed a large crack on the edge near the hole.

They currently play with this racket and dislike the ball feel, finding it awkward and tacky despite being marketed as light and maneuverable.

Used the Hack 04 Hybrid for six months and just bought the 05 for 2027. They describe a dry first feel with generous output, excellent maneuverability, strong blocking, and no elbow trouble after five or six matches.

The Neuron suits the way I play on the right: lots of blocks and deep lobs. Quicker in the hand than my Metalbone. I do miss the Metalbone when there's a chance to put away a smash, but overall I play better with this one.

After a lot of experimenting they keep returning to this racket. They describe a large sweet spot, medium hardness, not much free power, and comfort even with tennis elbow.

Owns the Arrow Hit CTRL Carbon without the weights and calls it a great racket. They also note it cost about half the price of the Metalbone and the non-carbon Arrow Hit.

Has used it for almost a year after a Bullpadel Xplo 2025 while managing arm overload. They find it lighter and more maneuverable than the Xplo.

Loves the Metalbone Control 2026 but finds it a bit bouncy, with a trampoline feel. They smashed it to bits and ordered the Arrow Hit control for a more direct feel.

Came from a very soft beginner Head racket. This one still feels good for control but lets them smash the ball easily out of the court.

Bought it because of tendinitis and likes it so far: light, big sweet spot and enough power. They note it is the non-Edge control version and was cheaper after the 2027 release.

Owned two 2026 Neurons with extra weight added and is moving on. They praise the maneuverability, spin and stability on blocks, but find it stiff with a small sweet spot and not enough power.

Owns the 2027 Neuron 02 Edge and describes it as stiff and hard, suited to placing the ball with control but with no trampoline effect.

After years on soft control rackets and a switch to the left side, they tested several rackets and bought the 2026 Coello Motion, which suited what they needed.

Stiff feel requires high swing speed and contributed to wrist and elbow pain.

Has tried both the 12K and 18K AT10 and rates the 18K far above anything else, picking up the 2025 version on a Black Friday deal.

Easy on my elbow and pretty forgiving off the back glass. But it feels too bouncy when I'm blocking fast balls at the net, and my smashes don't have much power either.

Way too stiff for me for normal club games. The sweet spot is small, and hitting outside it feels like using a plank. My elbow was already hurting by the second set. I can hit some hard smashes when I time them right, but it's not worth the arm pain.

Heavy. That's the first thing and honestly the main thing. I bought it because I watch Coello every weekend and I play left, and when I get a high ball and hit it clean the smash just goes, no question. Problem is the other 90% of the match. I'm late on everything low at the net and anything off the middle feels dead and buzzy. Probably a racket for someone a couple levels above me.

Switched from a diamond and this just sits in the middle, defence is solid and I can still put power on overheads

Recently got the Metalbone CTRL and is very happy with it, saying the movable weights let them tune the power and that it gives plenty of control and precision on lobs.

Switched from Extreme Pro because 370g was too heavy for me, Motion still works great in overheads and quicker to move around

Light and firm, Smashes still go when I accelerate it but its not a heavy ball as the weight is low, you need good form to get it to do the things you want to. Sweet pot is smaller than other rackets I tired before so I mishits at least a few times every game.
