Adidas RX Series Light Padel Racket vs Dunlop Rocket Ultra Padel Racket — Padel Rackets Comparison UK 2026

I keep recommending the Adidas RX Series Light to club players who want a lower swing weight without dropping into beginner territory, and at £95 it earns the spot. The Dunlop Rocket Ultra at £50 is a perfectly reasonable starter that drops about 30g off the swing and has a wide, round head, but the foam density is softer and the face wears faster, which becomes a real cost issue if you're playing more than once a week. The RX Light's EVA core holds up better through a UK winter on damp courts, and the carbon face gives you cleaner contact on volleys. Buy the Dunlop Rocket Ultra at £50 if you're picking up your first racket and want change from a fifty, otherwise go for the Adidas RX Series Light, which will still feel sharp 12 months in. Once you're playing socially every week, the £45 gap pays itself back through durability alone.
