Level Emerald
The Emerald sits at the top of Level's entry-level trio, priced alongside the Aura and Azure but built with a more attacking brief than either. Where those two rackets are shaped around control and forgiveness, the Emerald is a diamond-headed frame, moving its sweet spot toward the top of the face for more power on finishing shots.
It pairs that shape with a Multieva core and a 24K carbon face, at a medium-high balance that leans the racket toward offence without matching the fully attacking builds of the Pro line above it. Level describes it as a racket for developing players ready to play more aggressively without giving up the comfort and control the rest of its entry-level range is built around. Within the catalogue it functions as the step between the control-first Aura and Azure and the three Pro rackets built specifically for an attacking game.
Questions about the Level Emerald
Who is the Level Emerald built for?
It suits players moving from a defensive game toward attacking play. Level positions it as the most offensive of its three entry-level rackets, built to add power on finishing shots while keeping more comfort than its Pro-line rackets.
How does the Emerald differ from the Aura and Azure?
All three sit at the same price point, but the Aura and Azure use rounder, more forgiving shapes built around control, while the Emerald is diamond-headed with a 24K carbon face, moving its sweet spot toward the top of the face for more power on attacking shots.
Should a player choose the Emerald or move straight to the Pro line?
The Emerald offers a taste of the diamond shape's attacking balance without the fully offensive build of the Elegance Pro, Eternal Pro or Titanium Pro, making it a reasonable step for a player who isn't yet ready to commit to the Pro line's sharper attacking builds.
What does the diamond shape mean for how the Emerald plays?
A diamond head concentrates the sweet spot toward the top of the face, rewarding clean, higher contact with more pace but offering less forgiveness on shots struck lower down than a round or hybrid frame would.
What is Level as a brand?
Level is a padel racket brand launched in 2026 by three players active on the professional tour, Javi Ruiz, Víctor Ruiz and Gonzalo Rubio, who built the company from their own experience on the professional circuit rather than licensing an existing design.
