We have tested and reviewed the SET padel racket
In March 2022, we tested 4 different models of the SET padel racket. Below you can see the video when Micke at Elitepadel tested the SET padel racket on the court. Read more about each racket below the video.
Set Bull
A drop-shaped racket with a hard frame in 100% carbon fibre, hard 12K carbon fibre hitting surface and core in Eva Ultra Hard. It is a powerhouse that has also been given a mid-level balance point, so this can provide the player with good power and control in the offensive game. A racket that is suitable for players at a higher level of experience and who want to play with proper power and speed in the game. As this racket is drop shaped, it also has a slightly larger sweetspot than many other powerhouses, providing better control for the player.
Set Hyena
A round shaped racket with medium balance. A softer hitting surface in 3K carbon fibre and a medium-hard core in Eva Soft Ultra. This model from Set is designed to provide advantages in both modes of play, so it a good combination of power and control in the game. A larger sweetspot that allows for more good ball striking and a medium balance that can provide good support for both hard and soft balls. The carbon fiber frame adds a bit more stiffness to the racket and more durability when it receives impacts or ball hits that come too far out on the racket.
Set Leopard
A drop-shaped racket that has been equipped with various features to serve as an all-round racket. Both a carbon fibre frame and a 12K carbon fibre hitting surface, but with a softer Black Eva Soft Ultra core. A racket that has good strengths in both control and power, while providing less vibration for the player. Which makes it a strong package, while being more relieving for the player’s muscles and joints.
Set Hawk
Drop-shaped racket with a medium balance point, with a medium-hard hitting surface in 3K carbon fibre and the soft core Black Eva Soft Ultra. With the medium-hard carbon fibre hitting surface combined with the soft Eva core, this racket is a good combination of both control and power. The racket shape allows for a larger sweetspot, which allows for more good hits of the balls and the balance point becomes a good support in several different positions during the game.
