Quick answer: The Aixo padel range is built around three carbon tiers. Full carbon (the Ghost, in Pastel de Mint) is the lightweight control and touch option. The 3K carbon tier (Country Club and Sundae) is the versatile all-round choice for most players. The 18K carbon tier (Insane Bolt and Neotag) is the power and attacking tier for advanced hitters. There is also a Fizzball Junior line for children. Pick the tier that matches how you want the racket to feel, not just the highest number.
If you are new to padel, a quick reminder before we dig in. Padel is played on an enclosed court with glass and mesh walls, using a solid, stringless bat with a perforated hitting surface (those familiar holes). It is not tennis and it is not pickleball, and the racket you choose has a big influence on how the game feels. This guide walks through the whole Aixo padel collection so you can choose with confidence.
How the Aixo range is organised
Rather than a confusing wall of models, Aixo keeps things simple with three carbon face constructions plus a junior line. The carbon type on the face, along with the shape, balance and core, is what changes the character of each racket.
- Full carbon (Ghost): lightweight, control focused, forgiving.
- 3K carbon (Scorpion-style all-round): the balanced middle ground.
- 18K carbon (power): stiffer, more explosive, aimed at advanced play.
- Fizzball Junior: beginner-friendly rackets sized for younger players.
The three carbon tiers compared
| Tier | Example rackets | Face | Typical shape | Balance & core | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full carbon | Ghost – Pastel de Mint (RL-B09) | Full carbon | Round | Lightweight, EVA M-MAXX core | Control, touch, easy handling |
| 3K carbon | Country Club (RL-B11), Sundae (RL-BO5) | 3K carbon | Round / Diamond | Mid balance, EVA M-MAXX (Control or Power) | All-round players building technique |
| 18K carbon | Insane Bolt (RL-B12), Neotag (RL-B13) | 18K carbon | Diamond / Teardrop | Head-heavy or mid-high, ImpactCore / EVA M-MAXX | Power, attacking, advanced players |
Full carbon: the Ghost
The full-carbon Ghost, sold in the Pastel de Mint colourway, is the touch player's racket. Its full carbon construction is designed for stability and responsiveness, while the ultra-lightweight frame allows rapid movement and effortless handling. A SpinTex surface adds spin control and the EVA M-MAXX core is built to give a forgiving, comfortable feel. The round shape places the sweet spot towards the centre of the face, which suits accuracy, placement and smart shot selection over raw power. If you like to construct points and defend well, start here. We cover it in full in the Aixo Ghost review.
3K carbon: Country Club and Sundae
The 3K tier is where most club players will feel at home, and it is deliberately versatile. The Country Club (RL-B11) uses a 3K carbon frame with an EVA M-MAXX Control core and a round head for a smooth, connected response with strong vibration dampening, favouring controlled pace and technical shot execution. The Sundae (RL-BO5) shifts the balance towards output, pairing a 3K carbon face with an EVA M-MAXX Power core and a diamond shape for a bit more punch while keeping a soft, controlled feel. Both share a SpinTex surface and a mid balance. Read more in our Aixo 3K carbon guide.
18K carbon: Insane Bolt and Neotag
The 18K tier is the attacking end of the range. The Insane Bolt (RL-B12) is the outright weapon: exposed 18K carbon, a head-heavy balance, an ImpactCore EVA 15 power core, a diamond shape with a high sweet spot and a 3D textured surface for spin on smashes and net finishes. The Neotag (RL-B13) is the more manageable 18K option, using a mid-high balance, an EVA M-MAXX Control core, a teardrop shape and a SpinTex surface to deliver crisp, accurate hitting with tactical power. Our Aixo 18K carbon guide compares the two in detail.
Which Aixo padel racket should you buy?
- New to padel or control-first: the full-carbon Ghost or the round Country Club.
- Improver who wants everything in one bat: the 3K Country Club or Sundae.
- Confident attacker chasing power: the 18K Neotag as a step up, or the Insane Bolt at the top.
- Buying for a child: the Fizzball Junior range.
Remember that shape and balance often matter more than the carbon number. A round, head-light racket is easier to control; a diamond, head-heavy racket rewards good timing with more power but is less forgiving on off-centre hits.
FAQs
Is a higher carbon number always better? No. 18K carbon is stiffer and more aimed at power and advanced play, but that does not make it the right racket for everyone. Many players get better results from the more forgiving full carbon or 3K options.
What is the difference between round, teardrop and diamond padel rackets? Round rackets place the sweet spot lower and centrally for control. Diamond rackets move it higher for power. Teardrop shapes, like the Neotag, sit in between as a balanced all-rounder.
Do all Aixo padel rackets add spin? The senior models use textured surfaces (SpinTex or a 3D textured face) designed to help you generate spin. Technique still matters most, but the surface is there to help.
Which Aixo racket is best for a beginner? A forgiving, control-oriented model such as the full-carbon Ghost or the round Country Club is a sensible starting point. For children, choose the Fizzball Junior.
