Discover the new Black Crown Gladius 2026 padel racket, a model designed to offer total versatility and a premium feel on the court. 

This model features a teardrop shape that provides a perfect balance between power and control.

Its sleek design guarantees great tolerance and fluid handling in all phases of play.

The structure features an 18K Alum Carbon frame that delivers exceptional stiffness and increased durability for a crisper hit.

This racket incorporates Uni Carbon technology, which enhances frame stability while optimising energy transfer.

It is equipped with Medium Black EVA foam, an intermediate core providing an excellent compromise between comfort and responsiveness.

This racket incorporates Aero Carbon technology, a structural reinforcement at the frame level that optimises aerodynamics to increase swing speed and responsiveness.

This model also benefits from the Rough 5D ExtraSpin Finish, which grips the ball to generate spectacular spin.

Finally, the racket is equipped with the Gladius Core Balance system, which stabilises the heart of the structure for perfectly controlled balance upon impact.

This blend of technical innovations will allow you to dominate your opponents with surgical precision and total authority.

Technologies integrated into the Black Crown Gladius 2026 padel racket:

18K Aluminium Carbon

This cutting-edge technology merges high-density carbon fibres (18,000 filaments per strand) with aluminium reinforcement for an exceptionally stiff structure. This unique blend stabilises the frame during impacts, delivering multiplied striking power and surgical precision.

The Medium Black EVA foam ensures an optimal balance between comfort and responsiveness. Its intermediate density provides lively ball output without sacrificing control, guaranteeing a soft feel on impact and excellent vibration absorption.

Aero Carbon

Aero Carbon is a high-tech material used for the racket frame. Made of 100% carbon, it offers exceptional lightness while ensuring great durability.

Rough 5D ExtraSpin Finish

The Rough 5D ExtraSpin finish is a multilayer sanded surface that maximises ball grip. It makes generating spin easier, both for topspin and slice, allowing you to vary your game and surprise your opponent with heavier, more accurate trajectories.

Uni Carbon 

This technology uses unidirectional carbon fibres to stabilise the frame. It optimizes energy transfer on impact, delivering increased power and enhanced precision.

Gladius Core Balance 

The Gladius Core Balance system adjusts the geometry of the heart to recentre weight and smooth airflow. It reduces frame torsion, ensuring superior stability and manoeuvrability.
