Oxdog Pure Pro+
About the Oxdog Pure Pro+
Moving the balance point toward the head and hardening the foam is what separates the Pure Pro+ from the rest of the Pure range, and both changes point the same direction: more of the racket's mass and stiffness sit where the ball is struck, which adds pace to flat shots and smashes at the cost of some of the softer touch found lower in the range. The hybrid shape keeps a usable sweet spot rather than the narrower one a full diamond would give, so the extra power does not come with the same penalty for off-centre contact that a pure attacking shape carries.
Against its siblings, the Pure Court is the clearest contrast: soft foam, medium balance, built for control and comfort rather than pace. The Pure Tour X sits in between, with a medium-hardness foam and balance aimed at all-round play across a wider span of levels. The Pro+ is the one built specifically for a player who already has consistent technique and wants the racket to add finishing power rather than compensate for mistimed contact. Its sandy HES-Carbon face is tuned for that same purpose, favouring quick energy transfer and spin generation over outright forgiveness.
Questions about the Oxdog Pure Pro+
Who should be looking at the Oxdog Pure Pro+?
Intermediate to advanced players who already have consistent technique and want a racket that adds finishing power, rather than a forgiving frame that compensates for mistimed contact. Its top-heavy balance and hard core reward a full, committed swing.
Is the Pure Pro+ suitable for a beginner?
No. The hard foam core and head-heavy balance are unforgiving on mistimed contact and demand a swing a new player has not yet developed. A beginner is better served by the softer, more balanced Pure Court.
What core does the Pure Pro+ use, and what does that mean on court?
A hard foam core. Compared with the softer foams used elsewhere in the Pure range, a hard foam gives a firmer, faster response off the face, adding pace to flat shots and smashes at some cost to touch and arm comfort, which is why the racket is pitched at players with an already-settled swing.
How does the Pure Pro+ differ from the Pure Court?
The Court uses a soft foam core and a medium, back-set balance built for control and comfort. The Pro+ hardens the foam and pushes the balance toward the head for pace, trading some forgiveness for finishing power.
How does the Pure Pro+ compare with the Pure Tour X?
The Tour X keeps a medium-hardness foam and a more central balance, aimed at control and power together across a wider range of levels. The Pro+ commits further toward power alone, with a harder core and a balance set closer to the head.
Is the Pure Pro+ too demanding for an intermediate player?
It can be for someone early in intermediate play, since the hard core and top balance punish off-centre contact more than the rest of the Pure range. A player still building consistency may find the Pure Tour X a more forgiving fit while retaining real power.
Is the Pure Pro+ built for control or for power?
Power, primarily. The hard foam and top-heavy balance are built to add pace off the face, with the hybrid shape keeping just enough sweet spot that it does not become purely a power-or-nothing racket.
