Material
The frame is extra durable in its carbon fiber material and the hitting surface is a little softer with 3K carbon fiber. A racket package that can withstand more impacts and mis-hits, while still having soft characteristics.
The balance
A low balance point that creates more balance in the game. This makes it easier for the player to handle and also does not put a high strain on the player’s muscles and joints.
Racket shape
The round racket shape provides a larger sweet spot, which makes this model easier to create good ball hits.
Hard or soft?
Soft racket due to the round shape, larger sweetspot, low balance point and softer core. The racket’s characteristics make it particularly suitable for players who prefer a defensive style of play. There are some hard characteristics in this racket, like the reinforced frame and a hitting surface that is semi-hard, but are not quite enough considering the combinations with the remaining characteristics.
What level of player is the Fila the agilis suitable for?
As it is a soft easy to handle racket, it can be good for beginners and help them to create control and speed in the game and learn different techniques. It can also be a good racket for those at a more advanced level, who are mainly looking for control, balance and speed in the game.
Is the racket best suited for offensive or defensive play?
Considering most of the characteristics, it is more suitable for a defensive game. The rounded shape of the racket allows for a larger sweetspot and combined with the low balance and softer core, it is a suitable choice for defensive play and for those looking for a softer easy to handle racket to play with.
Information about the DoPadel brand
The Fila brothers founded the Fila brand in Northern Italy in 1911, with the main aim of producing clothes for the people living in the Italian Alps. It was not until the 1970s that they began to produce clothing and underwear for those involved in sports and athletics. We have seen Björn Borg posing in their underwear.
It is a big well-known brand that is sold in most of the world and they are mainly known for their good quality, stylish design and wide range of products for most sportsmen and sportswomen. Now even padel athletes can find rackets and other items that are tailored for padel.
