The new collection of Eclypse padel rackets has been unveiled, and as expected, it's a significant improvement over the previous edition. The brand's most iconic rackets (Lunar, Solar, and Total) have been revamped to enhance performance. The Street Padel blog is pleased to share a comprehensive and detailed analysis, so that players can find the racket that best suits their playing style.

Technical characteristics of the new Eclypse 2020 padel racket collection

All rackets in the Eclypse 2020 padel racket collection share the same materials and technical characteristics. Their differences lie solely in their format, balance, and consequently, their playing style. All of them belong to the brand's high-end range and are aimed at intermediate to advanced players. The rackets feature a frame with a combined composition: half carbon fiber and half fiberglass. This blend aims to strike a good balance in benefits. The rigidity of carbon and the flexibility of fiberglass allow for a good balance between resistance, power, and maneuverability. The faces, on the other hand, are made of fiberglass. This material is resistant but also known for having good flexibility, which provides comfort when hitting. Another feature present on the surfaces is the sandy finish. Its purpose is to increase grip with the ball to improve spin shots. Now that we know all the characteristics shared by the rackets, it's time to delve into the details that differentiate them. As we have already mentioned, each racket is aimed at a specific type of player. Discover which one best suits your playing style.

Eclypse Lunar 3.0

This is purely a control racket, ideal for players looking for a manageable and comfortable game. The Lunar 3.0 features a round shape with a medium-low balance. These characteristics facilitate control, as its sweet spot is wide and the weights are concentrated in the handle of the racket.

Eclypse Lunar 3.0 Woman, the feminine of the Eclypse 2020 rackets

This racket is identical to the Lunar 3.0 but is exclusively designed for women. In terms of format, balance, and materials, it is exactly the same. It is also a control racket with a round shape and medium-low balance, for a manageable and precise game. The only difference, besides a feminine design, is its weight. This racket has a reduced weight, barely reaching 345 grams. This makes it the lightest racket in the collection.

Eclypse Solar 3.0

The new Eclypse Solar 3.0 is a power racket, ideal for offensive players looking for a more aggressive and striking game. The characteristics that allow for this power are mainly found in its teardrop shape and medium-high balance. This way, the weights are concentrated in the upper part to make the head heavier, allowing for more force to be applied to the shot. This racket has a particular characteristic that differentiates it from the others. The bridge features a rigid horizontal arm that aims to eliminate vibrations from impacts. As a power racket, vibrations tend to be greater compared to a control racket.

Eclypse Total 3.0

The Eclypse 2020 racket collection culminates with the powerful Total 3.0, the all-round racket. This racket is versatile and adapts to any player and playing style. Its main objective is to find the perfect balance between control and power. It achieves this with a teardrop shape and a medium balance; the weights are perfectly balanced between the head and the handle to combine maneuverability and power.
