Explosive • Comfortable • Forgiving
The Royal Padel 850 PURE WOMAN 2023 combines classic diamond shape with high balance and a soft EVA core. On paper, it aims to provide force without fully sacrificing comfort. First impressions and limited independent sources support an initial picture, but this remains provisional.
The 850 PURE WOMAN has a diamond-shaped face with high balance and weighs 358 grams. Its face is carbon with an EVA Soft core. The frame is also carbon. These specifications point to an offensive configuration: high balance places weight toward the head, potentially adding force on smashes and volleys. The soft EVA core simultaneously aims to retain comfort and dampen vibrations. The combination seeks power without entirely hardening the feel. Diamond shape generally demands more technique because its sweetspot is smaller and higher on the face. At 358 grams, weight is midrange and manageable for many female players, provided they have mastered basic shots.
Initial impressions suggest suitability mainly for female players who like attacking and already have some head-heavy-racket experience. High balance and diamond shape require technique and timing.
The EVA Soft core aims to dampen vibrations and soften contact compared with hard cores. Playing accounts suggest improved comfort, but definitive conclusions require more prolonged tests.
Probably not ideal. High balance and diamond shape require clean technique and good timing. Those still learning the basics or mainly playing for enjoyment may find it demanding.
This impression is based on limited independent sources and verified specifications. A full verdict on durability, control and comfort after prolonged use is not yet possible. Treat this as a provisional sketch.
What you will notice as a player
The smash gets plenty of easy power; you do not need a full follow-through to put the ball away.
A balanced racket that responds predictably in most situations.
At the net you react a little more slowly: the weight sits forward, so quick adjustments take more effort.
No pronounced weakness, but no single shot where the racket particularly stands out either.
Which shots are affected most?
| Situation | What will you notice? |
|---|---|
| Defense | Reasonable: a calm swing returns most balls off the glass. |
| Volley | Comfortable and stable; aiming is easy and you keep the ball low. |
| Bandeja | Easy to control: the ball stays reasonably low and predictable. |
| Vibora | Enough bite for a quick brushing shot with some acceleration of your own. |
| Smash | Its strongest point: maximum power with little effort, sending the ball away like a rocket. |
| Block | The forward weight makes quick blocks more demanding than with an agile racket. |
| Off-center ball | Reasonably forgiving: outside the sweet spot you lose some speed, while accuracy is largely maintained. |
