Slazenger Epic Copper White
About the Slazenger Epic Copper White
The round shape spreads its sweet spot wider than a diamond frame would, which is the idea behind the Epic line: a hitting surface that stays forgiving when contact drifts off-centre, rather than one that only rewards a clean strike. A soft, layered EVA core sits behind a 3K carbon face, a pairing built to soften the ball on impact and hold it on the strings fractionally longer, favouring placement over a flat, fast rebound.
That combination points the racket at a player still building consistency rather than one already generating their own power, and it sits at the control end of what the Epic name covers — a companion Epic tier built around punch and a firmer, more attacking response occupies the other end of the same family. Reinforcement in the frame, described by the maker as a Kevlar layer, is aimed at damping the vibration a soft, forgiving core can otherwise let through on a mis-hit, which matters more here than on a stiffer, power-first frame.
Questions about the Slazenger Epic Copper White
Who is the Slazenger Epic Copper White built for?
It's built for a player still developing consistency rather than one already generating their own power — the round shape and soft core are set up to forgive an off-centre hit, not to punish one.
What core does the Epic Copper White use?
A soft, layered EVA core sits behind the racket's 3K carbon face. EVA holds the ball marginally longer at contact than a stiffer material, favouring placement over a flat rebound, and it's a gentler option for an arm sensitive to vibration.
Is the Epic Copper White good for control or for power?
Control. The round shape and soft core are built to widen the sweet spot and soften contact rather than add pace, putting it at the forgiving end of Slazenger's padel line-up rather than the attacking end.
How does the Epic Copper White differ from Slazenger's Challenge line?
The Challenge is built around a smaller sweet spot and considerably more punch for a player with the technique to control it; the Epic trades some of that pace for a wider, more forgiving hitting area.
Is the Epic Copper White beginner friendly?
It suits an improving player more than a complete beginner — it forgives an off-centre hit better than a stiffer, diamond-shaped racket would, but a first-time player is generally better served by an even softer, more oversized frame.
