The wait is over! For those who’ve played with the AXE 2 racket, the long-awaited and significantly faster successor is here. The AXE 3 padel racket is a powerful upgrade, and thanks to Dani Dios’s padel experience and passion for the game, it features refined characteristics that will help you become an even better player. The hybrid construction of carbon fibre and fibreglass offers a thoroughly unique sweet spot, and with more carbon fibre than ever before, you can create more speed without sacrificing control. But it’s not just about speed. In AXE 3, we’ve gone all in to develop and improve the racket’s components. 

For example, the new, extra-strong frame is made from 100 % carbon fibre, which we call the 360 Carbon Frame. The hitting surface features twisted carbon fibres woven with 3k twill technology to create a racquet with fast response and capacity to handle very powerful shots from your opponent. The carbon fibre increases racket hardness to withstand tougher conditions and higher temperatures, for example in hot, sunny summer environments. It also prolongs the life of the racquet, as well as its structural integrity.

For AXE 3, we’ve also focused on a higher balance point to match the racket’s characteristics and meet your expectations as a player. In addition, this racket is lighter, weighing 5 grams less than its predecessor.

The grip has been reinforced with fibreglass to reduce vibration and provide better feel and comfort in every shot. The textured Crystal Grip surface creates maximum spin on the ball and enhances ball control.
