The Black Crown Gladius is a highly versatile padel racket designed for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balanced combination of control and power. With its hybrid (teardrop) shape and medium balance, it adapts seamlessly to both defensive and attacking situations.
Constructed with 18K carbon faces and a carbon fibre frame, the Gladius delivers a solid, responsive feel, while the medium EVA core ensures a comfortable touch with consistent ball output. This combination allows players to maintain precision from the back of the court while still generating effective power at the net.
The racket features a large, well-positioned sweet spot and a medium-hard feel, making it ideal for players who value stability, shot accuracy, and reliability. Its rough surface finish enhances spin potential, adding extra control to volleys, bandejas, and overhead shots.
