About this core

A EVA soft core. 44% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

The Joma Valkiria Pro SFT Black leans toward control and touch, offering a softer feel through its SFT (Soft) core that cushions the arm reasonably well over extended play.

It suits intermediate players who prioritize placement and consistency over raw firepower, particularly women or club-level players seeking a manageable, all-round racket. Joma's padel range still trails the elite Spanish brands in prestige and performance density, and at its price point it faces stiff competition from more established mid-range options.

Highlights

Top 35% for comfort, and in the bottom quarter overall.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 25% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
