Weighing just 300 grams, this racquet is designed to revolutionize the playing experience, offering manageability, comfort, and quality—features that make it perfect for beginners or occasional players.
What Makes the HEAD ONE ULTRALIGHT Special?
Innovative Construction and Materials
The HEAD ONE ULTRALIGHT features a 38 mm frame and a 12k carbon hitting surface, a material that improves ball output and provides enhanced durability and resistance. Its round mold and extended grip length offer excellent balance and added comfort when handling the racquet, making it ideal for those seeking superior control without losing agility on the court.
Moreover, this model comes in two color options: white and black, both maintaining the same construction and technologies.
Designed for Beginners and Occasional Players
The lightness and maneuverability of this racquet are especially tailored for those who are new to padel or play occasionally. Thanks to its design, the racquet minimizes arm strain, improves the sweet spot, and allows for precise control. Based on our experience testing different racquet models, we find that this type of design is crucial for the learning process and to fully enjoy the game without straining your technique.
