Our scores, updated 27 August 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Bolt takes 2 of the six, the Electra takes sweet spot and comfort, and control and handling are level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
The same face on both: fibreglass. Fibreglass is softer than carbon and forgives more; it suits players still building their swing.
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.
About the same weight: 350 to 370 g and 355 to 375 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 Bolt is at PadelProShop right now, at €67.
