The Dunlop Gravity is a straightforward, honest racket for adults who are new to padel and want to feel immediately capable rather than overwhelmed. The teardrop shape gives a larger effective sweet spot than a diamond, and the high balance point means the head does the work on smashes and volleys without needing a technically refined swing. The EVA core keeps vibration manageable, which matters when you are still learning to centre the ball consistently. The ultra-reinforced finish is a practical bonus for players who regularly clip walls and posts during their first months on court. If you are starting out and want a power-oriented racket that will last a season of heavy use, the Gravity delivers on its core brief.
Pros
  • Overhead shots feel notably easier to execute cleanly, thanks to the high balance point shifting mass toward the hitting zone and a multidimensional hole pattern that reduces air drag through the swing.
  • Vibrations are well absorbed on off-centre contacts, which is a genuine comfort on longer sessions — the EVA core is doing real work here rather than just being a marketing claim.
  • Lobs from the glass have a pleasing solidity to them, with the textured carbon-graphite face providing enough friction to give the ball direction and height without requiring perfect technique.
Cons
  • Players who have moved past the beginner stage and want to construct points patiently from the back court will quickly find the high balance and power bias working against the touch and placement a more experienced game demands.
The Face
Carbon + Fiberglass

Carbon and fibreglass blend — the fibreglass layers add flex and vibration absorption to the carbon’s power transfer. More forgiving feel than pure carbon, with a slightly larger effective sweet spot.

The Core
EVA

EVA core — a medium-density rubber that balances feel with energy return. Firmer than EVA Soft, giving a more direct response on hard contact and better power transfer.

Shape & Balance
Teardrop · High Balance

Sweet spot sits slightly above centre, with enough head weight to generate pace on attacking shots. More forgiving than a diamond on mishits while still offering good leverage for net play.

Who Buys This
Beginner · Power players

Players taking their first steps in padel, or returning after a long break. This racket prioritises forgiveness and ease of use — it won’t punish mishits harshly and doesn’t demand precise technique.
