After the Knife, then the Wolf, Stéphane Penso ends the series of three pala tests with one of the brand's jewels: the Tamarit !

Cartri Tamarit: a very biker look!

With this last pala, we can appreciate all the know-how of Cartri which included the last technologies of the factory in order to develop a most spectacular racket.

Evolution of the Triumph Ωmega model, the spearhead of last year, the Tamarit inherits the reputation and success of its big sister by benefiting from a very biker look.

To go into details, Triumph is an English motorcycle brand, and Tamarit a Spanish preparer.

The architect who designed this model, and the supervisor who validated it, are surely big fans of bikes from across the Channel, as well as the famous Andalusian trainer, delivering us a model with the most improbable style.

Indeed, to represent a motorcycle on the faces of a racket padel is quite daring. But the company, eager for bets, raises them with a certain mastery, and we can only bow to their presumptuous choices.

Excessively elegant in her charcoal black dress, this color has the particularity of highlighting the other shades that are at her side, in this case mainly steel gray.

But let's get back to the heart of the matter and start taking a look at the enticing features that make up this reference.

Maneuverability, precision and power on the program!

The round format and the once again centered balance mean that this racquet will also be extremely manoeuvrable.

Weighed at 361 grams with its fleece strap, it can count on 2 layers of 3K carbon fiber, but above all on a last layer of aluminized 24K carbon fiber, in order to obtain maximum rigidity and explosiveness, while keeping a light racket with extraordinary durability over time.

Weight Tamarit Cartri

A little nod to the instigator who had the idea of ​​placing a Blue ShockOut antivibrator in the hole which acts as a lighthouse.

The core of this racquet is uniquely constructed using a combination of 4 layers of Rubber EvaSoft White, which gives the racquet an optimal distribution of energy over the entire surface, resulting in better power transfer with each stroke. .

The drilling pattern and the size of the holes (Progressive Holes) are specially designed to optimize power transmission for better performance and increased stroke accuracy, while absorbing vibrations during play and protecting your joints overload.

Like the Wolf, the tubular is made of 6K Kevlar hybrid carbon, which gives the racket increased stiffness and durability.

Exclusive technologies

The Tamarit has exclusive technologies such as:

X-TrM: this process is based on the use of thin, flat ribbons (generally round in shape). This patented process offers weight reduction and improvement over other carbon fiber materials.

HyB: The carbon / kevlar blend offers greater resistance to racquet wear, giving the racquet longer life in addition to improving power and control.

TubIX: fiber-reinforced bidirectional tube system for maximum strength and lightness inside the racket frame.

38mm: 38mm EVA core, laminated with layers of carbon fiber fabric for maximum elasticity and strength.

You will understand, we are dealing with a pala that seems indestructible parading with a range of technologies one more impressive than the others, but what about once on the track?

A real slap in the face!

Well the slap has been there, the volleys are solid and the smashes come out on their own.

The handling is, as on the other 2 models, exemplary, although the punto-dulce is still reduced compared to the Wolf.

Cartri Tamarit profile 2021

It is a racket that is aimed at seasoned players, precise in their strikes, who are looking for a round format while benefiting from a hyperbolic power.

The last layer of 24K carbon fiber has something to do with it, as well as the gloss lacquer, but what you gain on one side you lose on the other. Once on the track, you absolutely have to adjust your shots, frame your volleys and adapt your game so as not to be out of step with the potential it is developing and the resources it requires.

My expectations were therefore validated in play with this pala with an offensive profile which nevertheless requires a certain liability in padel in order to exploit all its strengths. You will find this racket sold for around € 340, this is the price to pay in order to benefit from one of the most successful models in the range, and made by hand in Spain!

Its core target remains> advanced players. It is an exceptional pala for the one who will know how to make it go up in the towers without risk of guidance, on the power bench, it is undoubtedly the most nervous!
