Octopadel Padel Rackets Guide: Pro, Attack Soft, Attack Firm & Control

Here we take a look at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) based Octopadel and their range of rackets we have available in store and online for the 2026 season.

Why Octopadel rackets stand out

Across these four models, Octopadel leans into a few performance themes:

• Lightweight builds for quicker hand speed
• 3D textured faces to help generate spin
• 38mm thickness (standard padel racket profile)
• Clear model tuning for attack vs control players

That makes this lineup easy to shop by feel: more power and higher balance in the attack-focused options, and more forgiveness and lower balance in the control model.

Octopadel Pro - £275.00

The Octopadel Pro is the most aggressive racket in this group, aimed at players who want maximum power, fast put-aways, and an attacking setup at the net. It’s designed for intermediate to advanced players who rely on explosive smashes and heavy pressure.

Octopadel Pro specs and features

• Shape: Diamond
• Balance: High balance
• Material (face/frame spec listed): 12K Carbon
• Core: EVA Pro Comfort Core (medium soft EVA comfort feel)

• Sweet spot: High sweet spot (helps leverage on smashes)
• Playing style: Aggressive attacking / power-focused / net-dominant
• Power-Control-Spin rating: 10/10 Power, 9/10 Control, 10/10 Spin

Design and on-court feel

The Pro is built as a high-performance attacking racket design: diamond mold, high balance, textured face, and a responsive 12K carbon construction. The comfort-oriented EVA core also helps reduce impact feel, which is useful for players who want power without a harsh response.

Best for: advanced or improving attacking players who want a lightweight racket with strong smash potential and spin.

Octopadel Attack Soft - £245.00

The Octopadel Attack Soft is the more comfortable attacking option. It keeps the diamond shape and high balance of an offensive racket, but uses a softer EVA core and a lower weight for a more forgiving feel. It’s a strong fit for players who want attack performance with extra comfort.

Octopadel Attack Soft specs and features

• Shape: Diamond
• Balance: High balance
• Material: 3K Carbon
• Core: EVA Pro Soft Core
• Surface / texture: 3D face with honeycomb-like texture
• Weight: 350g (lightweight)
• Thickness: 38mm
• Sweet spot: High sweet spot
• Playing style: Attacking players who want a softer, lighter feel
• Comfort profile: Good for players who want comfort / reduced impact feel
• Power-Control-Spin rating: 9/10 Power, 10/10 Control, 9/10 Spin

Design and on-court feel

This model has a soft-feel attack design: lightweight frame, softer core, and a spin-focused textured face. Compared with firmer attack rackets, it feels easier on the arm while still giving enough structure from the 3K carbon face to keep shots precise.

Best for: intermediate to advanced attackers who want comfort, maneuverability, and spin without losing offensive intent.

Octopadel Attack Firm - £245.00

The Octopadel Attack Firm is the more precise and sharper-feeling attacking racket in the Attack range. It’s still lightweight and diamond-shaped, but it’s tuned for players who prefer a firmer response and stronger directional control when volleying or hitting aggressive spin shots.

Octopadel Attack Firm specs and features

• Shape: Diamond
• Balance: High balance
• Material: 3K Carbon
• Core: EVA Pro Comfort Core (described as medium EVA / medium soft EVA feel)
• Surface / texture: 3D face with sandpaper-like texture
• Weight: 355g (lightweight)
• Thickness: 38mm
• Sweet spot: High sweet spot
• Playing style: Attacking players who like a harder feel, maximum control and spin
• Power-Control-Spin rating: 9/10 Power, 10/10 Control, 10/10 Spin

Design and on-court feel

The Attack Firm has a performance-control attack design. It’s still clearly offensive (diamond + high balance), but the firmer feel makes it better for players who value clean contact, sharper volleys, and consistent spin production under pressure.

Best for: aggressive players who want a firmer touch than the Attack Soft, especially at the net and in fast exchanges.

Octopadel Control - £175.00

The Octopadel Control is the most forgiving and placement-focused option in this lineup. Its round shape, low balance, and very large sweet spot are designed for players who prioritize precision, comfort, and rally control over raw power.

Octopadel Control specs and features

• Shape: Round
• Balance: Low balance
• Material: Full Carbon (round carbon face)
• Core: EVA Soft Core
• Surface / texture: 3D face with sandpaper-like texture
• Weight: 350g (lightweight)
• Thickness: 38mm
• Sweet spot: Very large sweet spot
• Playing style: Control player / right-side player / setup-and-build point style
• Comfort profile: Softer, lower-impact feel for the arm
• Power-Control-Spin rating: 9/10 Power, 10/10 Control, 10/10 Spin

Design and on-court feel

The Control model uses a control-first design: round head, lower balance, soft EVA core, and a big sweet spot for easier contact and better consistency. It’s especially suitable for players who like to defend, reset, and place the ball accurately before switching into attack.

Best for: beginners to advanced players who want comfort, precision, and a racket that feels stable in defensive and controlled play.

Final verdict on the Octopadel racket range

The Octopadel lineup is well segmented:

• Pro = top-end attacking power
• Attack Soft = attack + comfort
• Attack Firm = attack + firmer precision
• Control = comfort + placement + consistency

All four models bring lightweight handling and spin-friendly surfaces, but the shape and balance profile are what will make the biggest difference in your game. If your style is built around overheads and net pressure, the diamond models are the better fit. If you prefer controlling rallies and constructing points, the Octopadel Control is the standout choice.
