Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026

The Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 comes as a control-oriented racket for advanced players who like a hard impact, a huge sweet spot, and a very precise response in all phases of the point. It is a serious option for right-side players or left-side players who build the point patiently and finish when they have a clear ball.

Technical Analysis

Shape and Balance

The racket uses a round shape, clearly focused on control and stability in contact.

The balance leans slightly toward the handle, giving a very manageable feel. The head does not feel heavy. That helps a lot in quick exchanges at the net and in defensive situations near the glass.

This configuration favors players who want to direct the ball with precision, defend with confidence, and play long rallies without losing consistency. Power is there, but it comes more from good technique and acceleration than from the racket doing the job for you.

Construction and Materials

• Frame: Carbon fiber
• Faces: HES Carbon
• Core: EVA Hard

The combination of carbon fiber in the frame and HES Carbon on the faces gives a rigid and very stable structure. The face does not deform much on impact, which contributes to clean, defined shots with little vibration.

The EVA Hard core reinforces that hard feel. The ball does not sink too much into the foam. That improves control and shot accuracy for offensive players with a confident arm.

Those materials are clearly oriented to advanced players who like a direct, dry, and predictable touch. Players who prefer extremely soft sensations and a “trampoline” effect will not find that here.

Grip and Handling

The grip has a standard thickness, comfortable and stable. It allows a solid hold for both continental and more closed grips for offensive shots.

Handling is one of its strengths. The racket feels agile in preparation and fast when changing direction. That helps on fast volleys, dampened blocks, and quick reactions against aggressive opponents.

Players who come from very head-heavy diamond rackets will notice a lighter feel in the arm and forearm during long matches.

Sweet Spot

The sweet spot is one of the highlights. It is very wide for a hard control racket.

Hits slightly off-center, both high and low, maintain a stable exit and direction. That provides a lot of confidence, especially in defensive lobs from the back and in quick blocking at the net.

For players who like to take the ball early and sometimes hit a bit outside the center, this forgiveness is a clear advantage compared to other stiffer rackets with smaller sweet spots.

Sensations in the Game

From the Back of the Court

From the back, the hard feel is very noticeable. The racket demands a somewhat clean and complete swing for the ball to leave with depth.

In slow strokes, like controlled lobs or resets, the racket offers excellent control. The ball goes exactly where it is aimed. The response is linear and predictable. There are no surprises in how the ball comes off the face.

In defense, against heavy balls, the racket asks you to be active with your technique. Passive blocks with the face stopped help less than with a softer racket. However, if the player works the legs, prepares the stroke, and guides the arm decisively, the result is very solid.

The best sensations appear when playing aggressive lobs, chiquitas with height, and deep drives. The control and sweet spot make it easy to move opponents and change direction cross-court or down the line with confidence.

Players who defend from a more “touchy” style, without much arm acceleration, might feel that the racket punishes errors a bit more than a medium-soft model.

At the Net

At the net, the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 stands out particularly in volleys and overheads with control, like bandejas and rulos.

The racket accelerates well, even with a short motion. The face stays very stable on impact, which allows you to add pace to the ball without losing direction. Flat volleys cross-court and down the line feel clean and very precise.

In fast exchanges at the tape, the low-medium balance and large sweet spot help a lot. The racket can be moved quickly, closing the face firmly on reaction volleys and block volleys. That is useful against players who constantly pressure with pace.

For bandejas, the racket offers a very reliable trajectory. The ball can be placed deep and with control toward the corners or the fence. The hard foam favors overheads with spin and depth, although the player needs to work the motion and wrist to really benefit.

Viboras also come out well defined, with a sharp, penetrating trajectory, especially if the player is used to hard foam and rigid faces. Those who come from very rough, spin-specific faces may miss a bit more extra grip, but in exchange gain in precision and stability.

In the Smash

In the smash, the racket responds better than its shape might suggest, but it is not a pure cannon.

Being a round control racket with hard foam, it asks the player for good timing, full body use, and sufficient acceleration. With that, you can bring the ball out by 3 or by the side line without needing a perfect contact every time, thanks to the large sweet spot.

Flat smashes with good technique achieve very respectable power. The ball leaves with weight and speed. However, players who base their game mainly on outright power and constant winners from above might prefer a diamond or teardrop model with a higher balance.

Kick smashes gain from the hard feel. The ball bites well when brushing, and with the right technique, you can get good bounce and exit from the back glass. Again, the racket does not give you “free power”, but rewards clean mechanics.

For mixed players (right or left) who choose their smashes carefully and prefer control over brute force, this profile is very interesting.

Comfort and Player Profile

Comfort and Vibrations

Despite its hard touch, the racket maintains good comfort for this type of construction. The structure feels solid and vibrations are relatively contained for a stiff model.

Players used to hard faces will adapt quickly and may even notice less fatigue in the arm thanks to the manageable balance.

Those coming from very soft or very flexible rackets may notice an adaptation period in the arm and elbow. The impact is drier, and that can feel more demanding during the first sessions.

Recommended Player Type

The Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 fits best for:

• Advanced or high-intermediate players with consistent technique.
• Control-oriented players who value precision and order more than raw power.
• Right-side players who build points, play a lot of lobs, and want security from the back.
• Left-side players with good mechanics who prefer to choose the right moment to finish rather than smash every ball.

It suits players who like a hard, direct feel, a very forgiving sweet spot, and a stable racket that keeps up under pressure.

Players who prioritize maximum comfort, trampoline effect, and easy power with short swings will probably be happier with a medium or soft EVA racket, or with a more offensive shape.

Conclusion

The Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 stands out as a control-focused, high-precision racket with a very generous sweet spot and a clearly hard touch. It shines from the back of the court and in structured net play, where it rewards thoughtful decisions and clean technique.

Its main strengths are directional control, stability on contact, and forgiveness across the face. It allows you to play with confidence, construct points, and place the ball where it hurts the opponent most.

On the downside, it demands active strokes in defense and good mechanics in the smash to extract all the power. It is not the best choice for players who want effortless power or extremely soft sensations.

For advanced players looking for a serious, precise, and reliable racket that supports a control-based game with the possibility to finish when the chance appears, the Oxdog Pure Pro+ 2026 is a very strong candidate in the current control segment.
