Lok Easy Flow Gen 2

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The Asymmetric Heart shifts weight toward the sides of the heart and widens the sweet spot: balls you catch two fingers from the frame still come off with direction on cross-court volleys Flex Fiber blends carbon and fiberglass to flex on contact, so ball exit stays long on defensive lobs without needing to swing harder The Custom EVA rubber responds differently depending on swing speed: on cut bandejas it feels soft and controllable, and it holds firm without collapsing when you accelerate into an attacking volley Medium balance and 45.5 cm length make this a highly manageable racket at net, with quick grip changes for stringing together forehand and backhand volleys The 38mm frame with Carbon Reinforcement keeps the face stable off the back wall, where contact tends to arrive late and off-center

Cons

• ✗Pure power falls short: on flat smashes down the line you have to generate the pace yourself, since the racket prioritizes comfort over kill shots The smooth finish limits bite on the víbora and on cut drop shots; players who live off slice will notice the ball skidding on the face The soft core loses definition on very hard contact: on full-power smashes the feel turns mushy and it's hard to tell exactly where you hit it At 375g at the top of its weight range, long matches take a toll if your bandeja technique relies more on the arm than the shoulder

The Lok Easy Flow Gen 2 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. 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. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Lok Easy Flow Gen 2 Review: The Round Racket That Turns Off-Center Hits Into Playable Balls

The Lok Easy Flow Gen 2 is a control-oriented round padel racket with medium balance, a 38mm frame and a weight of 360 to 375 grams, built with a Flex Fiber face (carbon + fiberglass) over a Custom EVA core. Five in-house technologies — Asymmetric Heart, Flex Fiber, Gradual Face, Carbon Reinforcement and Equal Hole System — all push toward the same goal: making sure intermediate players don't pay a heavy price for mishits.

What Does the Asymmetric Heart Do on the Lok Easy Flow Gen 2?

The asymmetric heart redistributes mass away from the racket's central axis. In practice, that means the useful response zone is no longer a small circle at the geometric center — it stretches out toward the sides of the face.

On court, that translates into something very concrete: a ball you catch near the throat, the kind that dies and lands mid-net on a stiffer racket, still carries enough depth to reach the back of the court here. Combined with the round shape, this is one of the most forgiving rackets you can hand to a player who isn't yet centering 80% of their shots.

Flex Fiber and Custom EVA: Why the Ball Comes Off So Easily

The face blends carbon with fiberglass. Carbon supplies the stiffness that keeps the face from over-deforming; fiberglass introduces controlled flex at the moment of impact. The combination is deliberately forgiving on off-center hits.

Underneath, the Custom EVA rubber acts like a memory core that adjusts to your swing speed. Swing soft, and it compresses and rebounds; swing fast, and it firms up and holds. That's not empty marketing — it's why the same racket feels comfortable on a defensive lob and doesn't completely bottom out on an attacking volley.

The 38mm frame with Carbon Reinforcement rounds out the package. That perimeter reinforcement is what stops an impact in the upper corner from twisting the head and throwing off your direction.

Shot by Shot: Where It Shines and Where It Leaves You Hanging

Off the back wall. This is its best scenario. Contact usually arrives late and off-center, exactly the situation the weight distribution is built for. The ball comes out deep without you having to force the swing.

Bandeja. The soft feel of the Custom EVA gives you time to sense the ball on the face. You get clean exits on cut bandejas toward the side wall. What you won't find is the sharp, biting cut that a hard rubber delivers.

Volley. Medium balance and 45.5 cm of length make for a racket that's quick to reset at net. Short exchanges up front, switching from forehand to backhand, come off without the head feeling heavy.

Smash. This is where it hits its ceiling. On a flat smash down the line, you have to supply the arm speed yourself, because the racket returns comfort before power. Against an opponent who defends well, this Lok won't close out points on its own.

Víbora and spin shots. The smooth surface limits bite. If your game leans on aggressive slice or very short drop shots, you'll notice the ball skidding across the face instead of grabbing it.

What Level Is the Lok Easy Flow Gen 2 Built For?

For the intermediate player who already knows how to place the ball but still misses the sweet spot regularly. This is a control racket with a high, easy ball exit: it prioritizes making every shot playable over chasing the winner.

It's an especially good fit in three scenarios:

1. **Baseline players** who build points with lobs and off the walls and need effortless depth.
2. **Players managing elbow or wrist discomfort** who want impact cushioned by the soft core.
3. **Anyone stepping down from a hard, power-oriented racket** who wants to cut unforced errors without losing maneuverability.

This isn't a smasher's racket. If your pattern is closing points at net with a flat smash, the 38mm frame and soft rubber will ask for more arm than you want to give.

Recommended Pairing and Verdict

It works well as the racket for the backhand-side player who sustains the rally while their partner — running a harder racket with more head-heavy balance — handles the finishing. It's a builder's role, not a closer's.

The verdict is an honest one: the Lok Easy Flow Gen 2 does exactly what its name promises — a smooth, balanced game — and it does it with one of the most generous sweet spots you'll find in a round shape. In exchange, you give up pop and spin.

If that trade-off works for you, it's a very solid buy for consolidating your level. If you're looking to win points out of the air, this isn't your tool.
