Best WPT padel rackets

The World Padel Tour kicked off a few weeks ago with the Gijón Open, bringing together the best players on the planet. It was a first test that showed the high level of all participants, with thrilling matches that left no one indifferent.

The Gijón Open also served to confirm the novelties presented this year by the professional padel circuit. Among these novelties were the rackets wielded by the main stars of the moment to the delight of fans.

There was anticipation to see the performance of these new models, which we had already known about since late 2015, when the major brands launched their new collections.

Months later, the time finally came to see these 'weapons' in action, and the truth is that they lived up to expectations for both players and fans who gathered in the stands. Which are the most outstanding World Padel Tour 2016 rackets?

To answer that question, we wanted to compile here the rackets of the main players of the professional circuit. But before getting to the selection itself, we want to highlight the latest racket to join this WPT 2016: we are talking about the Siux Spartan, the model used by Cristian Gutiérrez since the Valencia Master.

Siux Spartan

This is one of the standout rackets of 2016. Siux has once again surprised with this Siux Spartan, which is set to delight the most demanding players. Exceptionally resistant, the brand has incorporated a superior reinforcement for this model, diolene, a material that makes the racket much more resistant and flexible. Made 100% of carbon fiber and with laminated EVA rubber, the Siux Spartan is, above all, a power racket, from which we will get maximum performance near the net. But it is also a racket that performs very well from the back of the court, as Siux specializes in manufacturing balanced rackets, just like one of last year's best-selling models, the Diablo Granph, considered by many to be the best racket of 2015.

Best World Padel Tour Rackets

1) Head Graphene XT Delta Pro: We start by talking about the number 1 player's racket. Fernando Belasteguín has once again relied on Head, which has developed a model worthy of the best player in the world. This racket includes the best possible materials, including an evolution of graphene, called Graphene XT, which, according to Head, is 30% stronger than the graphene used until now. The Austrian brand has met Bela's expectations with this model, which offers maximum power, maintaining the identity of the original Delta Pro, but at the same time introducing significant improvements. Without a doubt, one of the best rackets of the moment.

2) Nox ML10 Pro: One of the rackets that has generated the most anticipation at the start of the season. The charismatic Miguel Lamperti will wield it, continuing to trust in Nox's experience. The ML10 Pro is an improved version of its predecessor, increasing power and incorporating a protector on the frame. It features anti-vibration capsules and a piece in the bridge with the intention of facilitating its handling and preventing torsion. Another very versatile model.

3) Bullpadel Vertex 2016: The 'shark' Maxi Sánchez remains loyal to the Bullpadel Vertex, which, however, has renewed its design and materials for this year. With a very striking aesthetic, typical of Bullpadel, and with one of the most innovative bridges on the market. It is another model that offers great power for players with an aggressive and offensive style, like Maxi Sánchez himself. Without a doubt, one of the best rackets on the World Padel Tour.

4) Head Graphene XT Alpha Pro: used by Sanyo Gutiérrez, probably the player who generates the most passion with his game. It is a racket that, as seen in the Gijón Open, adapts perfectly to Sanyo's versatile game. Head has achieved a very balanced model, increasing precision in each shot and creating a very complete and manageable racket. The incorporation of graphene in its manufacture gives it a lightness with which we will feel very comfortable from the first moment.

5) Dunlop Blast: Argentine Juani Mieres has once again relied on the Dunlop brand for the 2016 season. This time, he will wield the Dunlop Blast, a racket with the best technologies with which the Bahía Blanca player shone in Gijón. Its great novelty is the incorporation of the new Eva Power Flex rubber, which gives greater power, comfort, and durability to an already very versatile model. Its design also does not go unnoticed, making it one of the favorite World Padel Tour rackets for the public in 2016.

6) Bullpadel Wing Pro: Veteran Gaby Reca has opted for the solidity of this Bullpadel racket, which has been aesthetically renewed while maintaining its perfect versatility. It is an ideal model for those looking for a racket that performs well in all areas of the court and can excel in both attack and defense. A versatile racket that offers very good ball output.

7) Adidas Adipower Attack: This is the racket chosen this year by the 'player' Peter Alonso. Adidas has incorporated new materials and technologies for this season, which have improved its playability and resistance. With its Exoskeleton technology, made of 100% carbon ribs, it increases stiffness and power, and also generates less torsion. It is one of Adidas's gems, which is increasingly present in the world of padel. One of the great surprises among the World Padel Tour 2016 rackets.

8) Wingpadel Air Attack: This racket attracted attention from the first day at the Gijón Open due to its extraordinary performance and was used by one of the tournament's sensations, Álvaro Cepero. The Wingpadel Air Attack is a very balanced racket, with great power and excellent control.

These are, in our opinion, the best World Padel Tour 2016 rackets. Which one do you choose?
