Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 Review
By Andres Jovem · Updated October 19, 2026
A firm, head-heavy teardrop for advanced attackers who finish points: heavy punch and a wide sweet spot, but it gives a passive player nothing.
The verdict
The Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 is Oxdog's flagship attacking frame, and it plays like one: firm, fast, and head-heavy, built to end points from the net and off the back wall. This is an advanced racket for a player whose technique is already grooved. It rewards a clean, committed swing and gives very little back to a passive one.
What sets it apart in a crowded power market is the teardrop mold. Most frames this aggressive are diamonds that punish every off-center hit. The Hyper Pro+ keeps the head-heavy punch but sits the sweet spot lower and wider than a diamond, so you get diamond-grade power with a margin for error a pure diamond won't hand you.
It is not forgiving in the beginner sense, and it doesn't pretend to be. The firm core and rigid carbon send plenty of feedback up your arm, and on a slow defensive ball it gives you almost no free depth. Attack with it and it is superb. Block and absorb with it and you will fight it.
The build
The core
Inside sits an EVA Medium+ core, which despite the name plays firm, on the hard side of the scale. That firmness sets the tone. The ball leaves the face fast and direct, with a crisp, dry contact that tells you instantly whether you struck it clean. The trade is honest: on a slow or scrambled shot the core barely flexes, so it returns little on its own. You supply the pace, and it supplies the speed once you do.
The surface
The hitting layer is HES Carbon, Oxdog's High Energy System weave, finished with a sandy, rough texture. The roughness is there to work: it grips the ball long enough to load a víbora or a bandeja with heavy spin, while the stiff carbon fires it back quickly. Feedback comes through sharp and unmuffled, which an advanced player wants to feel and a softer hitter finds demanding.
Shape and balance
The mold is a head-heavy teardrop, a high balance, so mass sits up behind the ball for the smash while the teardrop stays quicker through the air than a true diamond. Two details round it out. Side Ports cut air resistance so the head accelerates faster through an overhead, and the RBS system tucks a small removable steel weight into the handle, so if the head-heavy feel is too much you can take some out. PowerRibs channel more of the swing into ball speed and add durability under hard hitting.
How it plays
At the net
The net is its home. A volley comes off flat and firm, taking time away from the opponent, and a put-away leaves the strings the instant you punch through it. When your hands are set you feel planted and in charge. Caught late on a body shot, though, the head lags a touch and won't whip around to rescue you the way a lighter pala would.
From the baseline
Defending asks the most of you. A passive block gives you nothing back and drops short of the net, so you have to drive through the ball to send it anywhere. Do that and the placement is excellent, threading a reset into a corner or deep onto the glass where you aim it. Lobs want a firm push to float back long. If your defense leans on cushioning pace rather than redirecting it, this pala will feel like hard work.
On the attack
This is what you buy it for. The smash lands heavy and flat: meet it early and it comes back off the glass with ease, catch it deep and it is brutal, the head loading up and swinging through fast. The víbora and bandeja skid in low and die at the opponent's feet as you press forward. You point the ball, and it goes there fast.
Comfort and the arm
Be honest with yourself here. Contact is crisp and dry, and it sends more of the hit up into the wrist and elbow than a plusher pala does. An advanced arm used to hard palas will feel at home, and the generous sweet spot takes the sting out of a mishit. But if your elbow flares or your timing is still settling, this is not the racket to push through it on.
Who it's for (and who should skip it)
Buy it if
- You're an advanced player who finishes points at the net and off the back wall
- You want near-diamond power without a diamond's punishing sweet spot
- You generate your own pace and swing with commitment
Look elsewhere if
- You're a beginner or improver still grooving your technique
- Your game is built on defense, blocking, and absorbing pace
- Your elbow or shoulder is sensitive to a firm, rigid frame

Frequently asked
No. The Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 is an advanced racket: a firm EVA Medium+ core and a head-heavy teardrop shape that both want a grooved technique and your own pace. A beginner will find it unforgiving on defense and hard on the arm. Start with a round, soft-cored frame and grow into a stick like this.
It is a power racket with genuine control on top. The head-heavy balance and firm core drive a heavy, flat smash, while the teardrop shape and sandy HES Carbon face keep the sweet spot wide and the ball placeable. It attacks first, then defends on your terms.
The Oxdog Hyper Pro+ 2.0 sells for around €319, which puts it firmly in the premium tier. We track it live across our retailers below, so you see the price in your currency and which shops have it in stock, rather than guess.
The Hyper Pro+ is the firmer, more demanding sibling. The plus runs a harder core and an advanced, attack-first setup for players who finish hard, where the standard Hyper Pro plays softer and more forgiving, closer to an intermediate all-rounder. Same teardrop shape, a clear step up in firmness.
It pairs a firm EVA Medium+ core with a sandy-textured HES Carbon (High Energy System) surface over a carbon-fiber frame. The firm core sends the ball out fast and direct, and the rough carbon face grips it for spin on the víbora and bandeja.
Yes, the smash is its strongest shot. The head-heavy teardrop balance and aerodynamic Side Ports build genuine racket-head speed, and the firm core sends the ball out flat and heavy, whether you bring it back off the glass or flatten it deep.
At about €319 it's the premium pick on our left-side list, and the answer depends on how often you finish: the build quality and overhead payoff are real, but you can get most of the attacking brief for a third less. Buy it as a reward, not a shortcut.
