Level Aura
Level is a padel-specific racket brand launched in 2026 by three players active on the professional tour, Javi Ruiz, Víctor Ruiz and Gonzalo Rubio, built around the idea that three touring pros making their own equipment would make different calls than a licensed catalogue. The Aura sits at the accessible end of that catalogue, alongside the Azure and, one step up in intent, the Emerald.
The frame is a teardrop-based hybrid shape rather than a pure diamond, which keeps the sweet spot spread wide instead of concentrated toward the head. It pairs an EVA core with an 18K carbon face and a medium balance, and Level pitches it squarely at players early in their padel life: a soft, controlled response that favours consistency over pace, built to make rallies easier before a player starts trying to end them.
Questions about the Level Aura
Who is the Level Aura built for?
The Aura targets players early in their padel life. Its EVA core and wide, forgiving sweet spot favour a soft, controlled response over raw pace, and Level frames it as a racket for building consistency rather than for attacking play.
What shape is the Level Aura, and what does that mean on court?
It uses a teardrop-based hybrid shape rather than a pure diamond or round head, which spreads the sweet spot wider than a diamond frame. That trades some of the concentrated power a diamond shape offers for a larger forgiving zone, useful for a player still working on consistent contact.
How does the Aura differ from the Level Azure?
Both sit at the same entry point in Level's catalogue and share a similar control-first brief, but the frames differ: the Azure is fully round with a Multieva core and a 24K carbon face, while the Aura's hybrid teardrop shape and EVA core give it a slightly different balance of touch and forgiveness.
Is the Aura suitable for an intermediate player who wants to attack more?
Not particularly. The Aura is built around comfort and consistency rather than power, so a player looking to add offensive pop is better served by the Emerald, or by Level's Pro-line rackets: the Elegance Pro, Eternal Pro and Titanium Pro.
Who founded the Level brand?
Level was founded by three players active on the professional padel tour, Javi Ruiz, Víctor Ruiz and Gonzalo Rubio, who launched the brand in 2026 to build equipment from their own experience on tour rather than license an existing design.
