What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
Not listed on the Renegade, fibreglass on the X.
No edge either way
* 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.
The Renegade is about 355 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The X puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Renegade, for quick hands
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 X is at PadelProShop right now, at €50.
