Who this racket is for

The Legend Invictus X is designed for competition or pro-level players who prioritise performance and precision over comfort. Its round shape concentrates the sweet spot in the center of the face, increasing tolerance and favouring control. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Legend Invictus X review: 365 g, 15K Chromatic RED face and a 38 mm frame

365 grams on the nose, round shape, medium balance. The Legend Invictus X pairs a mixed 15K chromatic fibreglass and 3K carbon face with a soft EVA core and a 38 mm frame, built for a spin-and-placement game rather than raw power.

The brand slots it into its Pro Player range as an all-court racket, and the spec sheet backs that up: nothing here is aimed at the ball-basher looking to end the point in one shot.

What does the 15K fibre and 3K carbon face combo actually do?

The blend isn't just cosmetic. The 3K carbon adds structural stiffness and precision on the hitting plane, while the 15K chromatic fibreglass cushions the impact and stretches out the dwell time on the ball.

That pairing is what defines this padel racket's feel: it's noticeably softer than a full-carbon face on volley blocks, but it never turns spongy when you accelerate the arm on a bandeja.

On court, the response is progressive. The ball doesn't spring instantly off the face, it holds a beat longer and leaves with direction. That's exactly what a player who builds the point rather than ends it is looking for.

Soft EVA and the 38 mm frame: ball exit that does the work for you

The soft core is the trait that defines the Legend Invictus X the most. Soft EVA inside a 38 mm frame produces very high ball exit for minimal effort, which pays off in two concrete ways.

First, defence. Lobs from the back come out deep without needing a big follow-through, saving your arm over matches that run an hour and a half.

Second, low balls. On a rushed pinchada or an awkward wall exit, the soft core gives back energy you couldn't generate yourself.

The trade-off is power. The flat smash doesn't fly off the face: the material absorbs and returns rather than launching.

Who is the Legend Invictus X built for?

It's aimed at advanced players with solid technique. The round shape and wide sweet spot make it accessible, but the soft core means you need to supply your own racket-head speed to generate depth. Without that acceleration, the ball falls short and hands the attack to your opponent.

The rough texture as a weapon: vibora, kick and cut shots

The sand-style textured finish is genuinely aggressive, not the kind that only feels gritty to the touch. With that grain, the vibora's sidespin shows up in the bounce: the ball kicks out toward the back glass instead of skidding flat off the back wall.

On the cut bandeja, the texture keeps the ball hugging the glass and stops it from popping up. It's a shot this racket handles naturally, helped by the high ball exit that lets you play it deep without forcing anything.

The dropshot benefits too. With the grip of that grain slowing things down, the second bounce dies quicker and forces your opponent to close in on the net.

Shot by shot: where it shines and where it costs you

**Volley.** Excellent. Medium balance and a manageable 365 g let you change direction late and volley cross-court without lagging the contact point.
**Bandeja and vibora.** Its home turf. The texture and soft feel give you control over height and spin.
**Wall exits.** Very forgiving thanks to the round shape's wide sweet spot.
**Smash from position 3.** Solid, not lethal. You need to go for the angle, not the pace.
**Flat smash.** Its weak point. The soft EVA absorbs energy, making direct winners harder to find than with a hard rubber.

Player profile and ideal partner

It suits the advanced backhand-side player who organises the point, moves up to attack when the moment's right, and lives off spin play. It also works well for players managing elbow or shoulder issues who need a rubber that won't send vibration back up the arm.

As a doubles pairing, it works best next to a partner running a more aggressive racket: one builds and sustains the rally, the other closes it out. Two Invictus X rackets on the same court risk racking up endless rallies with neither side able to find the finishing shot.

What you gain and what you give up with this Legend option

You gain tolerance, ball exit and a high ceiling for spin play by design, with three finishes available — matte, gloss and textured sand. You give up punch: anyone after a racket that closes out points on power alone should look toward harder rubbers and more head-heavy shapes.

Its official RRP of €229 puts it in the premium bracket, though it's been spotted at less than half that in sales; at that price, the material package on offer is hard to match.

It's an honest racket that delivers on its promise: genuine all-court versatility, not the catalogue kind.

Pros

✓The round-shape sweet spot forgives real mishits: on forced wall exits the ball still comes off high and deep instead of dying in the net, the sandy rough texture bites into the ball from the first match so the vibora gets genuine lateral kick and cut drop shots die on the second bounce, the soft EVA inside a 38 mm frame sends the ball back without demanding arm speed so deep defensive lobs come out clean even in the third set, the 15K Chromatic RED fibre paired with 3K carbon softens pure carbon's harsh feel so volley blocks feel cushioned and easy to control, and the medium balance with a well-distributed 365 g lets it snap through the air at net for cross-court volleys and quick direction changes without lagging the contact point

Cons

✗It's not a racket for flat, direct winners: on a flat smash from position 3 the soft core soaks up energy and forces you to place the shot rather than go for a clean putaway, it only comes in a single 365 g weight so players who need a lighter racket to get through long matches have no other option within the model, the rough surface is a consumable so once the grain wears down the vibora's kick drops noticeably and spin play stops being its strongest card, and on fast, high balls the soft feel can feel a bit dead for an advanced player used to a hard EVA core, especially when trying to drive depth from the back of the court

In the brand's lineup

Within legend's lineup, the invictus x occupies the mid-range starting at €109.95, offering highly competitive value for its segment. Its overall score of 9.0/10 places it among the best all-round rackets we've reviewed.
