Arronax Hack 02 Aramid Fiber Padel Racket — Black EVA Core
Play Smarter. Feel Every Shot.
Most padel rackets are built around carbon fiber. The Arronax Hack 02 takes a different path. Its aramid fiber surface — the same material family used in high-performance protective gear — is more elastic than carbon, absorbing more energy on contact before releasing it back into the ball. That elasticity translates into a distinctly different playing feel: softer at impact, more forgiving on off-centre strikes, and exceptionally responsive to the kind of controlled, well-timed strokes that define touch-based play.
If you generate spin through technique rather than brute force, the Hack 02 rewards you. The black EVA foam core manages vibration behind that elastic face, keeping your arm comfortable through long sessions. A carbon fiber grip base provides a firm, stable platform in the hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is aramid fiber and how does it differ from carbon fiber?
Aramid fiber (best known under the brand name Kevlar) is a synthetic material prized for its high tensile strength and elasticity. In padel rackets, aramid fiber is more elastic than carbon fiber — it flexes slightly more on impact, absorbing energy before releasing it back into the ball. This produces a softer, more forgiving feel compared to the stiffer, more direct response of carbon. Players who value touch, spin, and feel over raw power typically prefer aramid surfaces.
Is the Hack 02 better for touch players or power players?
The Hack 02 is specifically designed for touch and spin-oriented players. Its aramid surface rewards controlled, well-timed strokes and technical play — particularly on angled shots, lobs, and net exchanges where feel and precision matter more than power. If you're a power player who prioritises maximum stiffness and energy transfer, a carbon surface racket like the AMA SPORT FORGE 24K P78 may be a better fit.
How does the Hack 02 compare to the Arronax Carbon Padel Racquet?
The Arronax Carbon Padel Racquet uses a carbon fiber frame and is positioned as a lightweight, versatile entry-level option. The Hack 02 uses an aramid fiber surface, making it a more specialised choice for players who want a softer, more elastic feel and are developing a touch-based game. At 372 g, the Hack 02 is slightly heavier than the Carbon Racquet's 350–360 g range.
Can overgrip tape be added to the handle?
Yes — standard padel or tennis overgrip tape is fully compatible with the carbon fiber grip base. Many players add overgrip for a more comfortable or tackier feel, or to adjust the handle diameter to their preference.
