No. 2 is the ultimate padel racket for those seeking the perfect balance between control and power in a single racket. The racket has a teardrop shape, offering a forgiving sweetspot and delightful control, despite its rigid hitting surface. This racket is equipped with a premium carbon fiber material with 12K on the hitting surface, compared to the industry standard of 3K. This means that the hitting surface consists of a carbon fiber with 12,000 carbon fiber threads per square centimeter. The more threads, the faster and more responsive the carbon fiber is in capturing and pushing back the ball. On the hitting surface, we also find our appreciated grooved steel pattern, with a depth of 0.8 mm, which provides a bit more "bite" and thus spin on the ball. On the racket, there are 64 holes with sharp edges that produces good spin in sliced shots. Inside the racket, we find our incredibly popular black medium-stiff EVA core, which can be found in all of our rackets. The medium density of the core provides a nice supportive feeling in the soft strokes, and a powerful responsive feeling in the hard strokes, generating plenty of speed. The frame is made of 100% carbon fiber and double layers of carbon fiber tubes, making it even more durable and contributing to a solid and stable hitting feel. Unlike our first version of No. 2, we find a so-called "Foaming Grip" system inside the handle and a new neck between the racket's handle and hitting surface - designed to minimize vibrations and thus reduce the risk of injuries. The racket weighs a mere 355-365 grams and has a medium balance at 260 millimeters. Its light weight ensures it's easily maneuverable in the most challenging duels - and is gentle on the elbows and shoulders. The balance determines how the weight is distributed on the racket. A high balance makes it feel top-heavy, and a low balance means the weight is closer to the hand. From the reviews we've gathered from our customers about No. 2, they describe it as "incredibly well-balanced" and "right in the middle of the racket." No. 2 comes in a sleek and stylish cover that protects your racket from high temperature differences and dirt between matches. We recommend No. 2 to recreational as well as competitive players looking for an all-round racket with a perfect balance of control and power. Despite its stiff hitting surface, we think the racket is suitable for a wide range of players because of the appreciated medium-stiff core and its light weight.
