DROP SHOT X-DRIVE 1.0
The Be Unique line encompasses a collection of paddles with sublime quality and finish. Among them stands the Drop Shot X-Drive 1.0 Paddle, a model that already has a previous version; in 2023, it was one of the most demanded paddles among our customers. Some of the characteristics that define this paddle are its resistance, durability, and great dynamism.
It is designed in a diamond shape, ideal for advanced level players seeking to unleash powerful gameplay. At Drop Shot, we prioritize quality and innovation, which is why each collection reinvents and improves our products. For the manufacture of the X-Drive 1.0 model, we used 24,000-filament Carbon developed by T-Extreme in a rectangular format, enabling greater mechanical flexion and reaction, producing a faster response upon ball impact. The carbon manufacturing technology is Spread Tow; a flat, ultra-thin, and stable weave that provides greater control and lightness, while producing a quicker reaction upon ball contact.
The paddle’s core is composed of Eva Pro rubber, whose main property is the sensation of control. With a high ball speed, greater power is achieved. The faces incorporate the Smart Holes System, a curved, progressive hole distribution system that optimizes mechanical forces at impact, helping generate spin and improving vibration reduction. The 3D Face system stands out on the faces, adding value — it is a rhomboidal 3D texture exclusively designed by Drop Shot to enhance the ball effect on shots requiring maximum spin, especially designed for aggressive players.
Additionally, to guarantee paddle durability, we have integrated the Nylon Ergo Pro Protector system. This protector adheres to the paddle without perforating the frame, preventing weakening. It is very lightweight and replaceable, protecting against impacts from low volleys and wall hits. The paddle’s core includes multiple edges to reduce vibration on ball impact and a central beam, Power Beam Heart, which provides rigidity, durability, and strength.
All our carbon frame paddles incorporate the Twin Tubular System; carbon fabrics pre-impregnated with highly durable resins, ensuring uniformity across the paddle face and increased rigidity to prevent frame vibrations.
Its design is defined as elegant and highly distinguished among the paddles in the 2024 collection. The face shows details in a discreet gold color combined with the striking blue of its interior rubber. The Drop Shot X-Drive 1.0 Paddle is designed following current trends in the world of padel.
