355g dead-on-the-scale, low balance and a Kern Eva Touch core: Tecnifibre's entry-level teardrop is built to make the ball come out on its own rather than to hit hard, with textured Spin Skin 3D grip that actually bites for real slice.

Who this racket is for
The Tecnifibre Wall Breaker 355 24 2024 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. Its teardrop shape shifts the sweet spot slightly upwards, striking a balance between control and power. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. With a weight of 355g, it sits among the lighter rackets on the market: easier to swing and less stressful on the elbow.
Tecnifibre Wall Breaker 355 24: a 355g teardrop, 45.5cm long, 38mm frame and a carbon-and-fibreglass face under a textured Spin Skin 3D finish. None of those numbers point to a power racket, and that's exactly the point of this model.
The Wall Breaker range sits at the entry level of the catalogue, and this 2024 racket takes that brief all the way: a single weight, no range, and a low balance so the mass sits in your hand rather than in the head. This padel racket moves a lot faster than its number on the scale suggests.
Kern Eva Touch, PHD and X-Top: what each piece does
The core is a Kern Eva Touch, EVA in its soft version. On court that translates into a rubber that compresses with minimal arm speed: you don't need to be perfectly set or hit with a firm wrist to get real depth on the ball. It's the piece behind this Tecnifibre racket's generous ball exit.
The face blends carbon with fibreglass. The fibreglass adds flex and a gentle touch, while the carbon face stops the surface from going completely dead when you try to add some pace. A deliberate trade-off in favour of comfort.
The PHD drilling pattern uses three different hole diameters: tighter in the centre for precision, more open toward the edges for tolerance. On court that means off-centre hits — the ones that happen most while your technique is still developing — lose less power and send less vibration up the elbow.
X-Top works on the upper section of the frame and aims to keep the racket controlled through long rallies, once the arm starts to tire. And the Spin Skin 3D isn't painted-on texture but genuine surface grain: it bites into the ball the moment you slice.
Who is the Tecnifibre Wall Breaker 355 24 built for?
It's aimed at beginners or players in their first steps into intermediate level, with an all-round approach: neither pure defence nor pure attack. The 355g weight and low balance cut down on arm effort, and pairing soft EVA with the PHD pattern widens the margin for error around the sweet spot.
Anyone who already has a solid bandeja and wants a racket that finishes points on its own will outgrow this one fairly quickly.

Shot by shot: where it delivers and where it falls short
Wall exits. Its strongest suit. The light weight and low balance let you adjust your swing late, and the soft rubber forgives mid-height contact even with barely any arm behind it. Balls that would land in the net off a harder EVA cross the court here.
Bandeja. Comes easily. The racket gets above the shoulder quickly, and the Spin Skin 3D grain generates real slice, with a low, dead bounce.
Vibora. A different story. The low balance doesn't support the forward swing, so you need to compensate with arm speed to get the ball deep.
Smash. The ceiling shows up early. With restrained power, a flat smash rarely closes the point by itself; you'll get more out of the por 3 or a kick off the back glass, leaning on the grip texture rather than raw impact.
Volleys. Comfortable territory. A wide sweet spot, soft response and high maneuverability mean blocked volleys and quick exchanges at the net get handled without needing elite reflexes.
Lob. The soft touch makes it easy to control depth, though the generous ball exit means you need to calibrate: early lobs tend to run long until you dial in your hand.
Is this racket short on power?
It lacks punch next to a hard-rubber, head-heavy racket, and that's worth saying plainly. But that's not where this model competes: its power comes borrowed from ball exit, not from impact. The ball comes out deep with minimal effort, and in a club match that settles more points than a smash that nets four times out of five.
The trade-off with soft EVA is how long that feel lasts: soft rubbers break in sooner than firm ones, and the sensation shifts as the hours on court add up.
Verdict: who should buy it, and who shouldn't
It suits beginners or players a season or two in who need a racket that won't punish the elbow or shoulder. It also suits players without much arm strength, since the ball comes out without forcing you to speed up your swing.
Three reasons to pick it:
- High maneuverability thanks to the single 355g weight and low balance, which snaps into position fast at the net.
- Generous ball exit courtesy of the Kern Eva Touch, giving effortless depth.
- Textured Spin Skin 3D grain, delivering real bite on bandejas and cut drop shots.
And one reason to skip it: if you're already smashing por 3 with intent to finish the point, the power on tap falls short of what your game demands.
Recommended side: the backhand side, where maneuverability and an easy bandeja pay off more than raw hitting power.
Pros
- ✓The soft-EVA Kern Eva Touch core pushes the ball through without demanding arm speed: mid-height wall exits cross the court even when your timing's a beat late. The Spin Skin 3D isn't painted-on texture but real surface grain: a cut bandeja comes off low and dead even without a fully polished technique. At 355g with a low balance, this racket snaps into position fast on block volleys and quick walls, where a head-heavy frame would show up late. The PHD drilling pattern, with three hole diameters, widens the sweet spot toward the edges: off-centre hits lose little depth and vibrate the elbow less.
Cons
- ✗The flat smash won't close out points on its own: with restrained power you're better off going for the por 3 or the kick off the back glass rather than trying to hit through the ball. The low balance doesn't help the vibora, so you need real arm speed to send it deep to the back of the court. The soft EVA breaks in faster than a harder rubber: after enough hours on court the feel goes even softer and the response loses some of its snap. It only comes in one weight, 355g, with no range: you can't fine-tune the feel by going a few grams up or down within this same model.
