The VANTA Pro Black 2026 is the top of Vanta’s Irish-designed Black range. Diamond shape, high (head-heavy) balance, and a stiff 18K carbon face mean the ball comes off hard when you accelerate into smashes, viboras and finishing volleys.
Inside, the Multi EVA (38/13/38) core is layered and firmer than the Full and One. You get a direct, powerful response without the racket going soft in long rallies. Thickness sits at 38 mm, weight 360–370 g, length 455 mm. The 3D embossed Vanta logo on the face adds grip for spin when you want to shape the ball.
This is for advanced players who already play offensive and can find the sweet spot. Off-centre mishits are less forgiving than a round control racket. If you want something more balanced day to day, look at the Full Black. If you’re still building consistency, the One Black is the kinder option.

The expert's thoughts..
The Pro Black is the aggressive one in the Vanta lineup. Diamond, head-heavy, 18K carbon, Multi EVA. Put a proper swing on it and you get real punch on overheads and finishing volleys.
It still feels usable at the net for a power bat, but it’s not soft or oversized in forgiveness. You need clean contact. If you already attack and want a firm Irish-designed diamond at this price, it’s a strong shout. If you want more control or a bigger sweet spot, step down to the Full or One.

Xcalion has landed.
We’ve partnered with Xcalion to bring their padel rackets to the UK & Ireland, and we didn’t pick them lightly. It comes down to one thing: the carbon.
Their ALMA carbon is an exclusive, patented material – endorsed by the European Space Agency and made in Spain. Packed tighter and more uniformly than traditional carbon, it means rackets that are ~10% lighter (from just 312g), far more consistent frame-to-frame (±5g vs the usual ±30g), and tested against the market’s leading rackets with a Madrid university, up to 5× the lifespan.
Five models, one for every level: from the beginner-friendly UNUM S1 up to the INFINITY H1 pro racket. Swipe for the proof, the full range and the specs.
Which one’s got your name on it?
By players. For players.

In light of Nike’s new padel racket collab with Drake floating around in the wild, we asked our AI friends to come up with some better ideas for when Nike steps into the game of padel.
Here’s what it came up with.
Do you think any of the Drake ones will go into production or how do you think Nike padel might look?
@nike hit me back, you too @champagnepapi

Some of the best selling rackets, mapped out in a way that should help you find what you’re after!
We wanted to make finding your next racket a bit easier, so here it is. Each racket plotted by power and comfort, so you can see where it fits beside the rest.
Built with the help of padelful.com for some in depth specs and reviews, and tested against our own hours on court. Take it with a slight pinch of salt, there’s a bit of subjectivity with this. How long a rackets been played with, conditions and the day you’re having. But we reckon it’s pretty close to perfect.
Every racket here is available to buy on ninepadel.com

The one that’s been flying off the shelves.
The Adidas Metalbone CTRL 2026 has quietly become our best seller these last couple of months, knocking the ever-popular NOX AT10 18K 2026 off the top spot. And honestly, we get why.
Round head, carbon face, Soft Performance EVA core, sitting at a manageable 345 to 360g with an even balance. On paper it’s a control racket, but there’s more to it than that.
For a control racket it’s not super soft. If anything it’s balanced to slightly hard through the face, and the sweet spot is massive, which makes it seriously playable. Mistime one and it doesn’t punish you. Middle it and you know about it.
Then there’s the weight system. Move the weights higher up the frame and you get more power on your smashes, keep them low and you get more control and manoeuvrability. Set it up how you play.
If you want a proper all-rounder that grows with you, this is the one players keep coming back to.
