Juan Martín Díaz's signature racket. The biaxial 12K carbon face gives a crisp, powerful response, and twin damping systems protect the joints. The listings describe an attacking racket that stays quick to handle.

Paladex’s read

A more comfortable route into attacking padel than the Vertex. Worth shortlisting once the first reviews land.

Collection: Icon
Year: 2027
Shape: DiamondWidest high up near the tip, tapering in straight lines to the throat. The sweet spot sits high on the face. Maximum leverage for overheads and smashes. The smaller, higher sweet spot punishes off-centre hits, so it rewards good technique.
Weight: 370–375 gOn the heavy side: more stability and punch, but more tiring over long matches and slower in fast exchanges.
Balance: Medium-high · 263 mmWhere the weight is concentrated. Extra weight behind the ball on overheads, while staying manageable in quick exchanges. Higher balance generally favours power, lower balance usually improves maneuverability.
Thickness: 38 mmA full 38 mm profile (the regulation maximum) gives more stability and power.
Frame material: Carbon tube
Face material: X-Tend Carbon 12K
Core: MultiEVA (3 layers)A mix of comfort and precision that suits most intermediate players.
Surface: 3D textureThe most bite on the ball, for players who rely on spin and effects.
Hardness: MediumA balanced core density.
Sweet spot: High on the faceDerived from the shape class. The 3D zone is an illustration, not a measurement.
Grip & handle: Standard handle with overgrip
