Black Crown Patron padel racket

Black Crown Patron (2025/2026)

The Black Crown Patron is a high-performance "hybrid" racket designed for the versatile, all-around player. In the Black Crown hierarchy, the Patron sits as a more technical, "crisp" alternative to the Hurricane line. It features a teardrop shape and a medium balance, making it a "jack-of-all-trades" weapon that excels both in high-pressure defense and aggressive net play.

The On-Court Feel

1. The "12K Carbon" Precision

Unlike the softer 3K carbon or fiberglass models, the Patron utilizes 12K Carbon on the faces. This provides a significantly "drier" and stiffer impact. When you strike the ball in the sweet spot, the energy transfer is immediate and precise. It is built for players who have good timing and want the ball to go exactly where they aim without the "unpredictability" of a softer trampoline effect.

2. Versatile Triple-Density Core

The 3XPly Eva core is a sophisticated "sandwich" design. The outer layers are slightly softer to handle low-speed defensive shots and lobs with comfort, while the high-density inner core engages during smashes and fast volleys to provide maximum power. This makes the racket feel surprisingly manageable when you are pinned at the back of the court.

3. Maneuverability and Aero-design

Despite its technical carbon face, the Patron is known for being very "handy." The weight is perfectly distributed toward the center, which helps you move the racket head quickly during reflex volleys. The 2TB Air frame (double tubular) not only increases the durability of the racket but also dampens the vibrations that typically come with stiffer 12K carbon faces.

4. Extended Handle for Leverage

Following the trend of modern professional rackets, the Patron features a slightly elongated handle. This is a major advantage for:

• Leverage: Increasing the swing-weight effect during overhead smashes for more "kick."

• Two-Handed Backhands: Providing plenty of space for players who prefer a double-handed grip for extra stability.
