Asics 2016 padel racket collection

The Asics brand is in vogue after launching its first racket collection on the market just a few weeks ago. As we all know, the Japanese multinational is a company that specializes in sports footwear. In the last decade, Asics has risen to the top among the most popular sports worldwide such as running, athletics, football, tennis, etc. A few years ago, the brand entered padel as a great business opportunity, seeing the social boom it was having worldwide. Since then, Asics has made a strong commitment to our favorite sport, quickly positioning itself as one of the brands with the best shoes on the market thanks to its herringbone sole and great durability. In 2015, Asics surprised with the complete signing of Pablo Lima – number 1 World Padel Tour pair –, who used an S1 racket, the top-of-the-range model, throughout last season. Now Asics has launched an extensive collection of rackets, with a total of 24 models divided between men and women. Let's delve into each one of them. Asics rackets can be categorized into 3 types: S Range (Speed), H Range (Hybrid) and C Range (Control). Within each line, we find 8 rackets (4 for men and 4 for women), numbered from 1 to 4, with the former being the best performing and the latter, the entry-level ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V48fxrUhZQ4

S LINE (SPEED)

1. S1 and S1 woman: this model is the top-of-the-range power model from Asics, it is the model used by Pablo Lima. Its combination is 100% carbon on both the faces and the frame.
2. S2 and S2 woman: this model is also a high-end 100% carbon model on both the faces and the frame. It also includes a rough texture like the S1 range.
3. S3 and S3 woman: this model is intermediate. It is no longer made of 100% carbon, but has 100% carbon in the frame and includes some carbon sheets on the faces, combining them with fiberglass.
4. S4 and S4 woman: this model belongs to the lowest power range, with fiberglass and a percentage of carbon.

These models are tear-shaped. Thus, they have a high balance and make the racket very powerful.

H LINE (HYBRID)

1. H1 and H1 woman: this model is the top-of-the-range hybrid model from Asics. It uses the best quality materials, incorporating 100% carbon on both faces and frame.
2. H2 and H2 woman: it is also made of 100% carbon, providing great firmness and resistance compared to many rackets from other brands.
3. H3 and H3 woman: intermediate range model. It alternates carbon with fiberglass, making it a racket with a very soft feel.
4. H4 and H4 woman: made with fiberglass and some carbon touches. Undoubtedly a very interesting racket at an intermediate price.

C LINE (CONTROL)

1. C1 and C1 woman: top-of-the-range control model from Asics. It is 100% carbon. A racket with a large sweet spot and very good control. It has a rough surface, making it a racket that generates a lot of spin for our cut and topspin shots.
2. C2 and C2 woman: this model is also entirely made of carbon, making it a very durable racket. This model will be one of the most in-demand due to its excellent control and very comfortable mold.
3. C3 and C3 woman: this model is an intermediate range in Asics' control range, combining carbon with fiberglass. It includes carbon in the frame and then has a combination of carbon and fiberglass on the faces.
4. C4 and C4 woman: it is the most basic control range from Asics, this model will also be one of the best sellers due to its price and format. A very comfortable racket for intermediate players.

These models are round in shape, which gives them spectacular control and very good handling.
