Oxdog Ultimate Pro+ (2025)
The Ultimate Pro+ 2025 is Oxdog’s flagship power racket: a diamond shape, high balance and a hard, rough-surfaced face built to hit as hard as possible while keeping unexpectedly good handling for the category.
Its spec sheet is unambiguous: a diamond head, around 370 g, a head-heavy balance, a hard EVA core and HES Carbon faces with a rough finish. The RBS Balance System adds a removable 8 g weight in the cap, while DSH double-size holes, PowerRibs and Vibradamp inserts complete one of the most technical builds in Oxdog’s range.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Genuine top-end power thanks to the diamond geometry and hard core.
- Sweet spot is more forgiving than expected for a pure power diamond.
- Rough surface adds real spin on aggressive shots.
- Comes with a case, removable 8 g weight and screwdriver for tuning.
Cons
- Maneuverability takes a hit compared to lighter, rounder rackets.
- Quick exchanges at the net require some adjustment.
- Hard feel isn’t ideal for sensitive arms.
On-court performance
Back of the court
Clean, centred contact produces real depth; the head-heavy balance geometry helps generate pace with less swing effort.
From the back, the racket needs you to be organised. When you are set, the head weight produces deep, heavy balls with little effort. When you are under pressure, the hard core and high balance give less margin, so it is best for players who defend actively and look to counter-attack.
At the net
Reaction volleys need a beat of adjustment given the racket’s weight distribution, but blocks carry good weight once you’re set.
Once you are set, blocks and punch volleys feel solid and heavy. Reflex exchanges ask for good preparation, and removing the 8 g RBS weight is an easy way to make the racket a little quicker in the hand if you spend a lot of time at the net.
Overheads (bandeja, víbora, smash)
This is the Ultimate Pro+’s strongest suit — the balance shifts real mass toward the head, adding serious force to smashes.
Flat smashes and x3s are the reason to buy it. The hard core and head weight send the ball off the face fast, and the rough HES Carbon surface helps víboras and kick smashes bite into the glass.
Comfort & vibrations
Firm and direct as expected from a hard-feel diamond, though the removable weight system lets you fine-tune the balance to soften the swing slightly if needed.
Vibradamp inserts take some of the edge off impacts, but this is a hard, powerful racket that suits strong, conditioned arms. Removing the RBS weight slightly reduces the strain over long sessions.
Spin
The rough surface gives solid grip on kick smashes and cut víboras, adding a second weapon to the racket’s raw power.
Who it’s for / who should skip it
Good fit if…
- You’re an advanced or professional player who wants maximum power.
- You like the idea of tuning the racket’s weight yourself.
- You finish points from the back with heavy overheads.
Skip it if…
- You need fast reflexes at the net without adjustment time.
- You’re newer to diamond-shaped rackets.
- Comfort matters more to you than raw power.
Ultimate Pro+ vs Ultimate Pro (2025)
Oxdog sells the Ultimate Pro in two versions in 2025. The Ultimate Pro+ reviewed here is the hard, head-heavy power version at around 370 g. The standard Ultimate Pro is a little lighter, at around 355–370 g, with a softer EVA Medium+ core that gives a more forgiving feel.
If you want maximum power and you have the arm and technique to handle a hard racket, the Pro+ is the one. If you want the same Ultimate concept with more comfort and a little more margin in defence, the standard Ultimate Pro is the more balanced choice.

Verdict
The Ultimate Pro+ 2025 delivers exactly what a flagship power diamond should: explosive smashes and real weight behind every overhead, with a sweet spot that’s more forgiving than the specs alone would suggest.
It asks for some adjustment at the net and rewards players who already generate their own racket-head speed, but for advanced players chasing power, it’s a genuinely competitive option against bigger-name diamonds.
For advanced attacking players who want a powerful, highly technical diamond with the option to fine-tune its balance, the Ultimate Pro+ is one of the most interesting alternatives to the big Spanish brands.
