CONTROL PADEL RACKET COMPARISON

Akkeron and Vibor-A are two of the brands of the moment. Their market position is undisputed. They offer top-quality padel rackets and surpass themselves every year with new models and improved features. Today we want to offer a comparison of control rackets with two of their best rackets.

VIBORA

Vibor-A is among the best brands on the market. It is a company that manufactures all its models 100% in Spain. It started its journey in the padel world in 2011 and, since then, it has not stopped growing, sponsoring some of the best players in the world, even being the official sponsor of the professional circuit World Padel Tour.

Since then, Vibor-A soared to success thanks to its great marketing campaign and the high quality it offers across its entire range of rackets.

• VIBORA TAIPAN EDITION 2016

Taipan Edition 2016 is one of the top rackets from the latest Vibora collection. Some time ago we offered you the best control rackets from Vibora, but we want to highlight this model for everything it offers, which is a lot.

Its core is made of high-recovery EVA Soft rubber. A rubber that stands out for its great ball output. Its weight ranges between 355 gr and 375 gr. It has a completely round shape, making it very manageable and with a very balanced sweet spot.

Regarding its aesthetics, we can highlight its elegant and aggressive colors, and its matte finish combining black with gray and red.

Without a doubt, one of the best control padel rackets of 2016.

• VIBORA BAMBOO 2016

The Vibora Bamboo 2016 repeats the mold that made it successful in past seasons. It is a completely round padel racket, designed to offer maximum control and outstanding precision.

It is manufactured with a double carbon tubular frame. Its core is made of high-recovery EVA rubber. It stands out for being more cunning and dangerous than before. It provides a greater degree of consistency and with its round and oversize shape ensures great control.

The color of this racket is very striking as it combines green with black in a matte tone.

AKKERON

Akkeron is a Madrid-based brand with more years of experience than Vibora in manufacturing padel rackets. Until last year, it had manufactured all its rackets with a closed bridge. This racket system helps to transmit fewer vibrations to the arm and elbow.

Akkeron's prestige is more than proven after several years of offering top-level rackets. Its current ambassador on the World Padel Tour circuit is player Agustín Gómez Silingo. We now look at the two best Akkeron control rackets of the moment:

• AKKERON ORO RUGOSA X6

Oro Rugosa X6 is Akkeron's most controlled racket. It is a completely round racket. It is focused on precision shots due to its wide sweet spot which will help us return the ball with greater precision but does not compromise on incredible power, which will facilitate balanced play.

In addition, the closed bridge that characterizes Akkeron padel rackets provides a better feel during play, visibly reducing vibrations.

Its core is made with an Ultra-soft EVA rubber, ideal for players suffering from epicondylitis. On the faces, it combines fiberglass with carbon, making it one of the rackets with the softest feel on the market. It is a very balanced and manageable racket.

• AKKERON PHANTOM X6

Akkeron Phantom X6 is one of the brand's great unknowns, but that doesn't make it any less of an outstanding racket. It offers great versatility, although it stands out for its enormous control thanks to its wide sweet spot.

It has a round shape and a carbon frame. The faces are made of fiberglass and the core is Ultrasoft EVA rubber. It is a very affordable racket for any player.

A very complete model that also maintains comfort thanks to the closed bridge, so typical of most Akkeron padel rackets.
