The HL2 is a very surprising racket. If it looks like many angles to the HL1, we'll see that it has much more interesting attack capabilities than the HL1. Focus on this racket with great potential.

An attacker's racket

The HL2 is a racquet padel for players looking for a bit of power in the racket. It is not the most powerful racket on the market either. The HL2 leans forward. We can feel it especially when we compare with the HL1. On the other hand, it kept its playing comfort.

One of the great things about the HL2 is its quick start. This is a highlight of the brand. The neck looks like tennis sleeves. Maybe a little too small, it will add 1 or 2 over-influenza

For players looking for hard gums, go your way, the racket remains flexible despite its program. The HL1 and the HL2 are soft rackets.

Reactive but sweet

No the racket padel Royal Padel / Henri Leconte Padel is actually not really 100% carbon. In reality its frame is made of fiberglass with carbon reinforcement. It is this way of doing things that gives a particular sound. Coupled with its rather flexible rubber for this type of racquet, it gives a reactive but relatively soft racquet. A feeling that is obviously similar to the HL1.

Side grip, it seems a trademark of the brand. She's just perfect. Tennis players who test this type of racket will love it. Beware however at the level of the upper part of the handle (which is closer to the heart of the racket), The racket heart is slightly raised with respect to the handle. So, we must add at least 2 over-fluids for players sliding their hand on the central part of the racket. If they do not, you will be bothered by this shift.

A sober but effective racquet

Another positive aspect is its protection on the edge of the racket. It is not a total protection of the racket, but there is sufficient protection for the knocks. On the other hand, like many brands, the edges of racket slices are forgotten. Pity. Especially it is rather a soft racket with a sweet spot important what tends in the game to accentuate the friction on these edges.

On the look side, it's rather sober. Royal Padel did not invent anything but it is simple and effective. With its famous R which covers the entire racket and the mention of Henri Leconte Padel at the top of the frame of the racket, as well as in the center with the mention HL2, we can say that the racket is well armed to strike the spirits.

In short

A favorite racket with a balance weight / Power interesting. The grip is perfect (Like the HL1). And we wonder why are not there more brands that use this type of mold for the sleeves ... If the HL1 is really aimed at the defensive players, the HL2 is rather oriented offensive players, but without being in the extreme. We like or we do not like, the sound of the impact of the ball is different from the other rackets. It's always a little surprising, but you get used to it and it goes well.
