The adidas Kanaga Exo Soft 3.0 is the kind of padel racket you don't need three matches to get used to. From the first few balls, it feels comfortable and easy to play. Its round shape creates a large sweet spot, making the racket forgiving when you don't catch the ball perfectly in the centre.
That makes the Kanaga Exo Soft 3.0 an interesting choice for beginners and recreational players, but its appeal doesn't stop there. More experienced padel players looking for control, comfort and easy manoeuvrability will also find plenty to like about this adidas racket.
The frame is made from 3K Carbon, providing the stability and strength needed without taking away from its comfortable character. For the racket face, adidas has chosen fibreglass. This creates a softer response than a hard carbon surface and helps the ball leave the racket relatively easily. You don't have to hit every shot at maximum power to generate good ball speed.
An important part of its comfortable character is the Exo Soft Performance core. This soft core helps absorb vibrations and creates a pleasant feel on impact. It's a feature you'll particularly appreciate during longer matches and training sessions.
The Kanaga Exo Soft 3.0 performs particularly well from the back of the court. It's manoeuvrable, offers plenty of control and its generous sweet spot means difficult balls don't always need to be struck perfectly. At the net, there's still enough speed available to put your opponents under pressure. Don't expect an extremely aggressive power racket, because that's not what this model is designed to be. Its strength lies in the combination of control, comfort and ease of play.
Adidas has also equipped the racket with Spin Blade technology. The textured surface provides additional grip on the ball, making it easier to generate spin on bandejas, viboras and other sliced shots.
If you're looking for an adidas padel racket that's easy to play with and doesn't immediately punish every small mistake, the Kanaga Exo Soft 3.0 is an excellent choice. It's a comfortable and versatile racket that beginners can develop their game with, while still offering plenty to more experienced players who value comfort and control.
