Our Verdict
The Pure Court Light 2025 is a well-considered entry-level racket from Oxdog that punches above its weight in terms of thoughtful engineering. The combination of a soft EVA core, Vibradamp inserts, and DSH holes creates a genuinely comfortable, forgiving hitting experience that suits players still building technique. The RBS balance system is a genuine differentiator — rare at this level — and means the racket can grow slightly with the player rather than becoming obsolete the moment their game improves. At 345 g it is light enough to handle comfortably across a full session, and the medium balance keeps both defensive retrieves and net exchanges accessible. For a beginner or returning player who wants one racket to learn on without punishing their arm, this is a smart, honest choice.
Pros
- Off-centre hits feel notably more forgiving than most rackets at this level, thanks to the enlarged DSH hole pattern redistributing the face's flex across a wider area.
- At 345 g with a medium balance, the racket is genuinely easy to swing for long sessions — wrist and elbow fatigue is minimal, and quick reactions at the net come naturally.
- The RBS removable 8 g weight system gives this racket a practical edge over fixed-spec competitors, letting a player nudge the balance as their game and preferences develop.
Cons
- Players who have moved beyond the intermediate stage will quickly find the soft EVA core and medium balance provide too little feedback and too little punchthrough for aggressive finishing or high-pace exchanges.
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
Teardrop · Medium Balance
The most versatile combination available — sweet spot large enough to handle pressure situations, balance neutral enough to transition between defence and attack without fighting the racket.
