Full review of the new Akkeron Armageddon 2022 racket

Playing style and recommended level

The playing style of a padel racket is probably the most important factor for playability. Fortunately, the new Akkeron Armageddon 2022 is a versatile racket. This means that it is adaptable and can behave in different ways on the court. In fact, on its official website, they state that the racket has 100% levels of power, control and ball output. This indicates the balanced behavior it can have. Basically, we are saying that, with the new Armageddon, the player can go on the offensive but also stay on the defensive. If we talk about the playing level of the racket, the new Armageddon 2022 belongs to the brand's highest range. This means that the racket is recommended for advanced and professional players.

Frame and face features

The new Akkeron Armageddon 2022 is one of the most technologically advanced rackets of the season. It features carbon manufacturing for the frame and faces. The most outstanding aspect of this is that the racket faces have a total of 5 layers of carbon fiber. It is the first racket on the market that has this amount of fiber layers on each face. These planes are manufactured using a pressing technology that fuses 5K fiber to improve its performance and energy transfer. Another important detail to mention about the faces is the FaceTense technology. This refers specifically to the drilling of the racket, i.e., its holes in the faces. They were made in such a way that they acquire greater tension, which results in a ball output with more speed and rebound. Finally, Akkeron has implemented Graphene Inside technology, which refers to the incorporation of graphene into the racket. Thanks to this material, an increase of 20% has been achieved for power, racket elasticity, and durability. For its part, the carbon frame features reinforced tube technology. With this, various reinforcements are implemented throughout the structure. In this way, resistance to impacts is improved, and the weight distribution is also optimized to improve the racket's balance.

Core features

As we could see, most of the racket's technologies are applied to the frame and faces. However, there are still more features that are worth highlighting, specifically the racket's core. The new Akkeron Armageddon 2022 has a Black Eva Soft rubber core. It is a rubber of intermediate hardness, with a well-balanced density. This allows the hit to have the same absorbency and ball output as a Soft rubber, but it also allows for the power and aggressiveness of a Black Eva rubber.
