Most powerful beach tennis rackets (2026)
Power is the ball speed a racket gives you on a full swing. It comes mostly from a firm core, a stiff carbon face and weight towards the head. The catch: powerful rackets usually ask for more arm and give less control.

Questions
What is the most powerful beach tennis racket in 2026?
In our scores it is the NOX NG17 (77/100), ahead of the Heroe's Aura and the Ocean Air Destroyer 2.0.
Does more power mean less control?
Almost always. The stiffness that sends the ball fast also makes it harder to place or keep short. If you miss a lot, look at the control list or the all-round list.
