Our Verdict
The Oxdog Hyper Match 2.0 is a thoughtfully constructed racket for intermediate players who want to build their game without fighting their equipment. The soft EVA core and Vibradamp inserts create a genuinely comfortable hit that holds up over long sessions, while DSH technology gives added forgiveness on imperfect contact. The RBS removable weight system is a standout feature at this level, allowing players to experiment with balance as their style evolves. At 360 g with a medium balance, it handles easily and transitions naturally between back-court defence and net play. If you're an intermediate player focused on consistency and comfort, this racket earns its place in the bag.
Pros
- Off-centre hits feel noticeably more stable than you might expect at this price point, thanks to the DSH (Double Size Holes) frame construction opening up the face around the sweet spot.
- Players with arm sensitivity will appreciate how little vibration travels through the handle on mishits, with Vibradamp inserts and a soft EVA core working together to absorb impact effectively.
- The RBS removable weight system means you can nudge the balance higher or lower to suit your developing game — a genuinely useful feature at intermediate level that most rackets in this class don't offer.
Cons
- Aggressive players who rely on smash power and net dominance will quickly find this racket's soft core and medium balance simply don't generate the explosive response needed to finish points at pace.
In Depth
The Core
EVA Soft
EVA Soft core — a low-density rubber compound that prioritises comfort and vibration absorption. Keeps the ball on the face fractionally longer on contact, giving more feel and control.
Shape & Balance
Hybrid · Medium Balance
Enough forgiveness for defensive exchanges, enough head mass to generate pace when pushing forward. Medium balance keeps it manageable in both directions.
Who Buys This
Intermediate · Balanced players
Club players who move between defensive and attacking play during a match. Versatile enough to perform in both situations without committing to a pure control or pure power racket.
