NORDIC ENGINEERING, DIAMOND-HEAVY
Oxdog padel rackets,
a Finnish newcomer with a current range
Oxdog came to padel from floorball and is disproportionately popular in Sweden and Finland, where padel grew fastest outside Spain. The catalogue is diamond-heavy, so it rewards players who already have a swing and punishes those who do not.
- 48 models
- 48 from 2023 on
- €120 to €330
THE RANGE
The Oxdog lines,
and what each is for
Oxdog has 48 models in the catalogue. Almost all of them belong to one of these families, so knowing the families is most of the work.
| Line | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Ultimate | The flagship line and the bulk of the catalogue. Mostly diamond, aimed at attacking play. |
| Hyper | Power frames at the top of the range. |
| Sense | Control-oriented models with softer feel. |
| Pure | Simpler, cleaner builds at accessible prices. |
WHAT MAKES OXDOG DIFFERENT
A floorball company
that came to padel late and all at once
Oxdog is a Finnish brand that made its name in floorball, the indoor stick sport that dominates Nordic school halls, and moved into padel as the game spread through Sweden and Finland. It arrived without a legacy catalogue, and it shows: every one of the 48 Oxdog rackets we track is from 2023 or later, which, with Joma and Lok, makes it one of the three fully current ranges on this site. There are no old generations to hunt for and no discontinued lines to avoid.
The range leans attacking. 54% of Oxdog frames are diamond shaped, one of the highest diamond shares of the brands here, with 27% round and 19% teardrop, and 23 of the 48 models are medium-hard or harder. The faces are Oxdog's own HES carbon on almost every model, and the cores are graded plainly as Medium, Medium+ and Hard EVA rather than by a brand name. Oxdog does not appear on the professional tour, so nothing here is a signature frame, and the prices reflect that: €120 to €330, median €250.
The surprise in the catalogue is the Pure line. The Pure Pro+ and Pure Tour are round frames with two of the largest sweet-spot ratings in the entire database, which makes Oxdog, for all its diamond leanings, a serious option for a control player who wants a modern carbon frame without paying for a pro's name.

Weight is the manufacturer's stated range. Balance is where the mass sits: low means towards the handle, high means towards the head. Price band is the recommended retail price in euros (entry under 120, mid 120 to 200, premium 200 to 300, pro over 300); UK street prices are usually lower. Level is our reading of the shape, balance and core, not a rule.
BY SHAPE
Which shape
do you need?
Round: Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026
Oxdog has 13 round models. This shape suits the right side, players who build points, anyone still developing their timing, and anyone protecting an arm. Our current pick from the range is the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026, at around €299.
Teardrop: Oxdog Hyper Pro 2.0 2026
Oxdog has 9 teardrop models. This shape suits the largest number of club players, because it gives some power without shrinking the sweet spot. Our current pick from the range is the Oxdog Hyper Pro 2.0 2026, at around €309.
Diamond: Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ 2026
Oxdog has 26 diamond models. This shape suits advanced attacking players who finish points with the smash and hit the middle of the strings consistently. Our current pick from the range is the Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ 2026, at around €329.
HOW TO CHOOSE
Buying a Oxdog
without buying the wrong one
Brand is the last thing that should decide a padel racket, and the first thing most people decide. Once you are inside a range, three specs settle the question.
Shape decides forgiveness
Round puts the sweet spot in the middle of the face where you actually hit the ball. Diamond moves it up towards the tip, which buys power and costs you every off-centre shot. Teardrop sits between the two and is the right answer for most club players. Oxdog covers round, teardrop, diamond, so you do not need to leave the brand to change shape.
Core decides comfort
Soft cores hold the ball longer, forgive a slow swing and transmit less shock to the elbow. Hard EVA cores are more powerful and more precise but punish poor timing. If you have ever had tennis elbow, this single spec matters more than shape, weight and brand combined.
Your side matters more than your level
The left side finishes points and usually wants a higher balance. The right side builds points and covers the middle, so it usually wants a larger sweet spot. Two players of the same level on opposite sides should not buy the same racket.
Then let the data narrow it
The table above is the fastest filter: read down the shape, balance and core columns before you look at a single price, and the level column tells you who each frame was built for. Our racket finder does this across all 1,418 rackets in seven questions, and if you have run a match analysis it uses your real technique scores instead of your own estimate of your level. If you are still choosing between brands, start with our guide to the best padel rackets or, for a first racket, the beginner picks.
FAQ
Questions about
Oxdog rackets
Are Oxdog padel rackets good?
The build quality is high and the brand is well established across the Nordics. The catalogue leans heavily towards diamond shapes, so check the shape before buying rather than assuming a model is all-round.
Is Oxdog good for beginners?
Less so than most brands, because so much of the range is diamond-shaped with high balances. Look at the Sense and Pure lines rather than Ultimate or Hyper if you are in your first season.
