Gladiator Gladius Hybrid 16K Lite

Gladiator Gladius Hybrid 16K Lite – Comfort and Performance, Now Lighter

The Gladiator Gladius Hybrid 16K Lite is designed for intermediate and advanced players who want the same comfort, control, and precision as the original Gladius Hybrid 16K, but with a lighter feel. Weighing ± 350 g, this version offers faster handling and easier maneuverability while maintaining the racket’s balanced performance on both offense and defense.

Thanks to its hybrid blade shape, the racket delivers a perfect balance of power and accuracy. The soft Black EVA core provides increased comfort, quieter gameplay, a larger sweet spot, and forgiving play—so small mistakes are absorbed and consistency is easier to maintain, even during intense rallies.

The frame is crafted from 100% carbon, and the facings from 16K carbon, making the racket durable and responsive. With a medium balance, the Lightweight Edition offers stability and maneuverability in a fluid, controlled playing experience.

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 Lightweight Edition delivers high performance with a lighter feel, elevating your game with a perfect mix of comfort, precision, power, and forgiveness.
