Gladiator Gladius Hybrid 16K – Comfort and Performance Elevated

The Gladiator Gladius Hybrid 16K is specially designed for intermediate and advanced players seeking a racket that combines comfort, control, and precision. Thanks to its unique hybrid blade shape, this racket offers the perfect balance of power and accuracy, enhancing both offensive and defensive play.

What truly sets this racket apart is its soft Black EVA core, which provides:

Increased comfort: every shot feels smooth, even during intense play
Less noise: enjoy quieter gameplay, ideal for both indoor and outdoor courts
Larger sweet spot: more chances to hit the ball perfectly, even on off-center shots
Forgiving play: small mistakes are absorbed, helping you maintain consistency

The frame is crafted from 100% carbon, and the facings from 16K carbon, making the racket durable and responsive. Weighing between 355–375 g and with a medium balance, it offers the ideal combination of stability and maneuverability for a fluid, controlled playing experience. The straight hole pattern provides extra spin as the holes are closer together compared to the 18K version.

The Spin+ Effect surface on the blade helps you add extra spin and variation to your shots. For maximum comfort, the racket is equipped with an Absorb+ grip and a replaceable, extra-soft wrist strap. The extra-long grip (14 cm) also makes it suitable for players with larger hands.

In short: the Gladiator Gladius Hybrid 16K offers a high-performance racket that elevates your game, with a perfect mix of comfort, precision, power, and forgiveness.
