The expert's thoughts..
What stands out is how the racket gives you control without feeling sluggish. It’s light enough to manoeuvre at the net, but solid enough to respond confidently under pressure. When things get tense and rallies stretch out, this racket feels like an ally — helping you maintain composure, build points patiently, or block aggressive smashes with control.
For someone who values precision, consistency and tactical awareness over raw firepower, the Carbon CTRL 2026 is a quietly powerful tool. It’s less about flashy smashes and more about constructing points, staying calm under pressure, and out-strategising your opponent shot by shot.

Thanks again!
The only thing I would say is that they told me on WhatsApp they would give me some complimentary grips with my racket order but these never came with the racket which was a bit disappointing. But I’m thrilled with everything else so 5*s from me!
EDIT
Warren very kindly sent the grips out to me asap and they arrived today. VERY impressed with NinePadel and their customer service. I highly recommend them!
