Asics 2016 Padel Rackets

Asics rackets are going to be the talk of the town this year. As expected, the prestigious footwear brand is expanding in 2016 with its full potential in the production of padel rackets. Undoubtedly, it has been the number one in padel shoes and now it wants to achieve the same result with rackets.

It presents the 2016 season with 3 different ranges with 8 racket models in each range, 4 for men and 4 for women per range.

The novelty of the Asics padel rackets system is that they are differentiated by a letter and a number, and of course, each thing is logical with what it wants to describe; the letter S stands for SPEED, the letter C stands for CONTROL, and H stands for HYBRID, which means a racket between power and control.

The numbers are very well thought out, as they go from 1 to 4 in each range and mean that 1 is the advanced level, and as we approach 4, it goes down, so the last one, which is 4, would be for a learning or beginner level.

The only thing you should keep in mind is that even though each range varies in terms of playing characteristics, the aesthetics of each range are the same, that is, the men's Asics S1, S2, S3, S4 are all yellow and black, while the women's S1, S2, S3, S4 are light blue and black. In contrast, the men's C1, C2, C3, C4 range is red and black, and the women's C1, C2, C3, C4 are pink and black. Finally, the men's H1, H2, H3, H4 range is green and black, and the women's H1, H2, H3, H4 are orange and black.

Below, we present the 2016 Asics racket collection, with all 24 models:

ASICS SPEED RANGE RACKETS

This is the range for players with an aggressive game where power predominates over control, so the balance is at the head of the racket, making it less maneuverable than the other two Asics ranges. It also comes in a heavier weight and an inverted teardrop shape. The S1 is the racket played by the world's number 1 padel player, Pablo Lima.

ASICS CONTROL RANGE RACKET

This is the range that any player would feel comfortable with; it is the touch range par excellence. These are very easy-to-handle rackets with normal weights and a centered balance that facilitates their maneuverability. It is for those who want to control every shot and whose game is more about direction than power.

ASICS HYBRID RANGE RACKETS

This is the range for players who want power but also control in medium-speed shots. This range of rackets has a balanced center, making them more maneuverable.
  • Asics H1 and H1 women: Asics' top hybrid model. Undoubtedly, its most complete and versatile racket.
  • Asics H2 and H2 women: another perfect racket for the most demanding players. Performs at all points of the court.
  • Asics H3 and H3 women: maximum comfort. Good balance between control and power.
  • Asics H4 and H4 women: ideal racket for the intermediate or beginner player looking for a comfortable and versatile racket.
