Team  and  BrightStar  They set the stage: lightness, maneuverability, character. But the range  EvoForce  hides another side, darker, more assertive. The  DarkStar   Elite  and  Pro  These are for those who refuse to compromise on power and technical excellence. Here are the three latest models that give this collection its full depth.

 EvoForce DarkStar: may the force be… 

It's the complete opposite of its luminous sister, BrightStar. With a name like that, it's impossible not to see a strong nod to the universe of George Lucas: Star Wars, Darth Vader, the Death Star… We've clearly crossed over to the Empire!

Visually, it's simply stunning. A deep black background with a magnificent glossy finish contrasts with steely gray inserts that define the contours of the frame and the imposing logo. This combination gives it a look that is both minimalist and striking, reinforcing its "war machine" image.  Beneath this somber design, the usual carbon fiber weave gives way to an obscure refinement. Thus, the fibers become   deliberately discreet   to better highlight these flashes which sparkle in an almost supernatural way depending on the angle from which the pala is observed.
 La  DarkStar  she doesn't shout to attract attention, and she fully embraces her positioning: a  shovel  for advanced players who want to get straight to the point, and who demand raw efficiency and a fiery temperament.

The secret to its versatility lies in the unique architecture of its core. 3VA Foam (28/40/28) this Spanish triple-layer foam with a rigid central core, which absorbs nothing and returns everything.  At low intensity, the outer layers in density  28 The more docile and flexible parts come into play: they act as a veritable springboard, offering that little boost needed to bring the ball out smoothly on defense or slower shots. But as soon as you accelerate to launch the attack, the ball compresses this first barrier to hit the central core (density)  40 ) a rigid barrier that returns the raw energy of the arm. This is where the engineering of  Pallap  makes the difference: just behind this wall of density  40 , a final layer of density  28  acts like an invisible spring that "finishes" the ejection process, allowing for a  ball exit  Lively and dynamic even on very dry strokes, preventing the racket from becoming an inert “anvil”.
Thanks to the frame  Dual Carbon , to the alliance of  Carbon Pura 12K CX  this wider Italian braiding maximizes the transfer of force and technology  3D Lightning In attacking play, the ball never sinks. It seems to literally "splash" out of the net.  sieve  with incredible energy.

Au  Smash It's a detonation. The sensation of a bullet hitting the  sieve  is coupled with that final bounce which literally propels the ball out of bounds. Despite its head-heavy balance, it maintains a manageable weight that allows for control during rapid transitions.
In summary, the  DarkStar  is a blade: a block of power wrapped in a life-saving dynamic rebound, ideal for technicians who demand a paddle capable of faithfully reproducing the slightest subtlety of their touch.

 EvoForce Elite: the perfect synthesis 

If the range  EvoForce  If it had to have only one ambassador to represent the balance between power, comfort, looks and handling, it would undoubtedly be the Elite Aesthetically, it's simply stunning with its carbon braiding.  checkerboard  with shades of anthracite and space grey, offering a  carbon fiber  XL visible from all angles.

Its foam  Impulse 2 Layer  ( EVA Fusion 30 + 2mm PN ) and its finish  hyperspin  These quartz crystals, which grip the ball like sandpaper, make it a formidable weapon for placing shots.  trays  with millimeter precision or  smashs  who remain in the area.

The  Elite  takes comfort up a notch thanks to technology  Rocksolid Basalt We're not talking about a gadget here, but a genuine infusion of  basalt  strategically distributed throughout the  pont  and  some . This  “Shield”  technological filtering of shock waves before they even reach your arm, neutralizing parasitic frequencies upon impact, guaranteeing imperial structural rigidity and exemplary protection of the elbow during intensive sessions.

On the track, the EvoForce Elite  It stands out for its impeccable performance: you can feel that the racket never falters during the rally, even when the pace quickens. It remains unshakeable during defensive blocks or reflex counter-attacks, while retaining that astonishing agility that allows for effortless manipulation in the tight net area.

The real magic happens as soon as you start to apply rotation. The grip of the finish  hyperspin  me on  vipers  is pure bliss: the sandy texture literally "bites" the ball, giving it incredible spin and precision, without any feeling of strain. It's dry, it's dense, and it resonates in the forearm with that crystalline sound that only the very highest quality frames produce. You enjoy a  Sweet spot  Generous enough to forgive minor delays in preparation, while maintaining a reserve of power ready to unleash itself as soon as you want to finish.

 EvoForce Pro: the pinnacle of the pyramid — Proudly Made in Spain 

If we were to plant a flag at the top of the collection  EvoForce , it would undoubtedly be on the  Pro From the first glance, it commands immediate respect: its deep black lacquered finish, hinting at the carbon fiber weave, is electrified by logos.  cyan  and finishing touches  gold/yellow  on the bridge. A striking look, both understated and intimidating, exuding high-end quality.

But what puts this model on a pedestal is its identity card: the EvoForce Pro  is the only reference in the entire collection to be entirely produced in  Spain This mention  “Proudly Made in Spain”  It's not just a matter of prestige; it guarantees the craftsmanship and rigorous manufacturing standards of the finest Iberian workshops. A rare and precious luxury that justifies its status as a top-quality racket from the moment you pick it up.  Expert – Professional .

 A technological arsenal at the service of lightning 

Its technical specifications are a true showcase of innovation. Under the  sieve we find the moss  Powerlayer 45  (Made in Spain) the most aggressive eraser in the catalog. Its architecture  multi-density  is designed to deliver explosive power with a crisp feel that will delight fans of clean impacts. The carbon  Dualforge (12K+3K)  provides immediate responsiveness and maximum energy return, while the full quartz texture  hyperspin  offers a surgical grip to slice the ball every time  flight .

It boasts the highest weight in the range, a head-heavy balance, and a  sweetspot  quite small. All these characteristics become handicaps for an imprecise player, but in expert hands, they combine to become a devastating striking force and a weapon of absolute precision.
The real game changer is its framework: the frame  Kevlar + Carbon Much more stable than a traditional frame, this combination ensures phenomenal tensile strength and allows the racket to maintain its consistent performance level, session after session, even under the stress of very high-intensity matches. It also incorporates the technology  Rocksolid  at the bridge and handle level an effective combination that stabilizes the chassis and filters out unwanted vibrations for optimal comfort.

 The verdict on the ground: authority above all 

On the track, the EvoForce Pro  is an unforgiving instrument. It demands two things: technical skill and unwavering physical commitment. In return, it offers a total connection with the ball—no filters, no approximations tolerated. You feel exactly where the impact is in the  sieve This allows for precise adjustment of trajectories down to the millimeter. Activating the arm is a true demonstration of power.  smashs  They launch with colossal speed and a crisp sound that testifies to the overall compactness. In defense, it demands a firm hand and impeccable positioning; it doesn't forgive off-center hits or even the slightest lapses in concentration. You can feel the weight contributing to stability: unshakeable during reflex blocks at the net. It is, par excellence, the tool of the warriors of the circuit. A serious, physical, and incredibly refined racket, made for those who refuse compromise and want in their hands what the  spanish padel  made better.

 But still … 

If there is a true common thread that unites these different references, it is undoubtedly the emphasis placed on the  maneuverability Despite their decidedly offensive pedigree, neither the Pro, nor the Elite, nor the DarkStar fall into the trap of the "anvil" racket. They never have excessive head-heavy weight, which is a real technical feat on Pallap's part compared to the majority of other offensive models.

This enjoyable gameplay is further enhanced by a key advantage: the  generous handle length It's a pure delight to use and a game changer: beyond the immediate comfort of handling, it offers a  lever arm  much more effective for accelerating the racket head during the final smash.

La  tolerance  is also present with optimal striking zones ( sweet spots ) particularly vast. Even though the EvoForce Pro is logically a little more demanding and precise, it retains surprising accessibility for a model of its class. Add to that an impeccable finish, with a special mention for the ultra-comfortable padded wrist strap, and you have a result that is simply flawless, placing this range  EvoForce as one of the essential references of the 2026 season.

 The artisan's seal: hand-certified precision 

Finally, on a detail that speaks volumes about the brand's seriousness, there's a specific feature I haven't encountered with any other manufacturer to date: the technical labeling . At  Pallap the exact weight  ET  le  balance point  The properties of your racket are not vague theoretical approximations printed on an industrial sticker. They are notated constants.  by hand , with a pen, directly on the handle. This means that a human has weighed, measured, and physically validated each unit leaving the factory—a guarantee of  traceability  exceptional. In this "custom-made" context, the risk of error in your specifications is high.  shovel  is virtually nil. We are definitively leaving the world of the “standard” to enter that of the  artisanal certification .
For me, it's the ultimate technical skill that perfectly completes the circle of their philosophy.  “Engineered Perfection” .

The artisan's seal: hand-certified precision

 Which EvoForce is right for you? 

 The logic of this 2026 vintage is crystal clear once you break it down, with each model occupying a strategic place on the performance chessboard. 

  •  The Team ranges  They constitute the entry point: light, maneuverable and accessible, yet they do not skimp on the technological arsenal to support your progress.
  •  The BrightStar  The biggest surprise remains: a true competition-grade paddle concealed beneath a pristine white exterior. It's the queen of tolerance, never lacking in punch.
  •  The DarkStar With its unique triple-density core, it is undoubtedly the most versatile: aggressive, comfortable, and agile. A visual and technical masterpiece.
  •  The EvoForce Elite Meanwhile, it stands out as the perfect synthesis. It's the racket that inspires confidence the fastest and will appeal to the vast majority of advanced players. In terms of power, look no further:  Everything you need is there, right where you need it.  She clearly shows herself  more incisive  than previous models, displaying a true attacking temperament while remaining surprisingly  handy It's a racket that has a  “domesticable” character  You can feel the muscle and the nervous energy, but it's a beast that obeys and that you eventually tame completely after a few games. That's precisely what differentiates it from the ultimate reference in the catalog…
  •  The EvoForce Pro This is the pinnacle of the pyramid. It's simply the epitome of Pallap's most radical approach. Unlike the Elite, it doesn't seek to be your friend: it demands skill, precision, and unwavering physical commitment. But for the player capable of mastering it, it takes on a whole new dimension, transforming every intention into a...  devastating ball exit:   In the wrong hands, the EvoForce Pro is a constant challenge; in the hands of an expert, it is a true consecration. 

My verdict on this range  EvoForce  It's undeniable: it's a complete success. Stay tuned, because in the next installment, we'll be tackling the rest of the series collection.  Power  et  Velocity which build upon the excellent heritage of the mussels  2025  to reach yet another milestone.
