Pallap Pro vs Elite Rackets: How the High-End Range Compares
At the top of the Pallap range sit four rackets built without compromise. The Pro and Elite models represent Pallap’s highest level of engineering, all proudly made in Spain and developed for advanced to professional players who demand clarity, performance, and consistency under pressure.
This comparison looks at how the Power Pro, Power Elite, Velocity Pro, and Velocity Elite differ in construction, feel, and playing profile, and how to choose between Pro and Elite within each family.
Pro vs Elite: What the Difference Really Means
Across both Power and Velocity families, Pro and Elite do not represent better or worse. They represent different performance priorities.
In simple terms:
-
Pro models are built for maximum output, speed, and direct feedback
-
Elite models prioritise balance, control, and reduced vibration without sacrificing performance
Both are high-end rackets, made in Spain, using Pallap’s most advanced materials and carbon layups.
The Power Family: Power Pro vs Power Elite
Both Power models share a diamond shape and an attacking DNA, but they feel distinctly different on court.
Power Pro – Built for Offensive Volley Play
The Power Pro is engineered for players who take control at the net and finish points decisively. Its diamond shape, higher balance, and Rocksolid 24K carbon face are tuned for explosive overheads and aggressive volley play.
Key characteristics:
-
Higher weight range and balance for added momentum
-
Medium EVA 30 core for dynamic response
-
Rocksolid bridge stabiliser delivering direct feedback with shock absorption
-
Hyperspin surface supporting heavy rotation on attacking shots
This racket suits advanced or professional players who generate their own power and want a direct, tournament-ready feel.
Power Elite – Balanced Power with More Control
The Power Elite shares the same Rocksolid 24K carbon face and Carbon-Kevlar frame but is tuned differently. With a slightly lower balance and a softer EVA 28 core, it delivers a more controlled response while maintaining attacking capability.
What changes on court:
-
Easier handling during long matches
-
Softer feel on contact
-
Reduced vibration thanks to basalt-carbon reinforcement near the bridge
-
More forgiving response without losing precision
The Power Elite is ideal for advanced players who want power but value comfort, control, and consistency over long sessions.
The Velocity Family: Velocity Pro vs Velocity Elite
Velocity rackets focus on versatility, movement, and transitions between defence and attack. Both use a tear drop shape but differ significantly in feel.
Velocity Pro – Pure Speed and Precision
The Velocity Pro is the most performance-driven racket in the Velocity family. Built with a Rocksolid 15K carbon face and a very firm EVA 40 core, it delivers a fast, reactive response with exceptional precision.
On court, this means:
-
Extremely direct ball output
-
High responsiveness across the sweet spot
-
Excellent speed in counter-attacks and fast exchanges
-
Strong stability from the Carbon-Kevlar frame and bridge stabiliser
This racket is aimed at advanced and pro players with refined technique who want speed, precision, and a very connected feel.
Velocity Elite – Control-Speed Balance
The Velocity Elite is designed as the most balanced option in the Velocity range. Its Rocksolid 12K carbon face and EVA 30 core create a larger sweet spot and a more forgiving response.
Key benefits:
-
Easier access to control under pressure
-
Clean feel on defensive shots and resets
-
Reduced vibration via basalt reinforcement in the bridge area
-
Speed when accelerating, without constant firmness
This model suits advanced players who want versatility and comfort while still playing a fast, modern game.
