Our scores, updated 13 July 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Explorer takes 4 of the six, the Shark takes power and value.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
24K packs 24,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 3,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Shark's 3K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Explorer, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
About the same weight: 350 to 370 g and 360 g.
No edge either way
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
Only the Explorer is at PadelProShop right now, at €171.
