Description
A racket for court gladiators
Versatile in design and highly responsive, Black Crown presents the Gladius Force, a racket for advanced players.
Its structure is based on cutting-edge engineering combining 18K aluminised and 3K carbon in the frame, offering superior stiffness for maximum energy transfer.
Paired with a Hard EVA Black core, this pala delivers a crushing impact on smashes while retaining surgical precision.
For spin enthusiasts, it features the 5D Extra spin rough finish, a technology that grips the ball to impart aggressive rotation to your lobs and serves.
Balance is at the heart of this power: the Gladius Core Balance system was specially developed to optimize racket stability, offering you better control even during the fastest rallies.
The Aero Carbon frame guarantees exceptional durability, built to withstand the intensity of competitive matches.
The Gladius Force stands out as the most accessible power pala in the Black Crown collection, ideal for players looking to inject aggression and solidness into their transition and finishing game.
Technologies integrated into the Black Crown Gladius Force 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 on impact, delivering tenfold striking power and surgical precision.
Hard Black EVA
Hard Black EVA foam ensures an optimal balance between comfort and responsiveness. Its high density delivers a lively ball output without sacrificing control, guaranteeing a soft feel at 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 high durability.
5D Extra spin
5D Extra Spin is a racket surface technology featuring a 3D effect to increase ball grip and enhance spin creation.
Gladius Core Balance
The Gladius Core Balance is a system that intelligently adjusts weight distribution across the racket to make it more manoeuvrable and stable, allowing you to string shots together with precision without losing control.
Uni Carbon
This technology uses unidirectional carbon fibres to stabilise the frame. It optimizes energy transfer on impact, offering increased power and enhanced precision.

Returns, exchanges and after-sales support
You have 30 days to change your mind, provided the racket has not been used and the plastic film is still on the racket handle.
