Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Valkiria takes 4 of the six, the Maxima takes comfort, and sweet spot is level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
24K packs 24,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 18,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Maxima's 18K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Valkiria, 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.
The Maxima is about 10 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Valkiria puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Maxima, 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 Valkiria is at PadelProShop right now, at €198.
