About this core

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

The review

The 36 Aniversario Light is the manageable edition of Royal Padel's birthday frame: 365 g, head-light, scoring power 78 with the house's cushioned character and comfort 72 keeping sessions kind.

Maneuverability 72 is genuinely good by the brand's deliberate standards. Control 70 and tolerance 71 are fair. Core documentation is incomplete as usual. Value 68 carries the commemorative markup. This is the most accessible recent expression of the house feel: planted but no longer ponderous. For the Royal Padel-curious with normal arms, this or the 2023 Fury are the doors worth trying first.

Highlights

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

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 41% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
