How to think about this racket
What it is
Ionic Light 26 is a Next-line hybrid: 350–360 g, 38 mm, medium balance, Glaphite face, Multieva and 3Dgrain. Official segment is women / intermediate / versatile.
Who it's for
Intermediate players who want a light hybrid without jumping to Vertex 05. Useful for developing all-court play.
How it plays
Bullpadel talks about attack-to-defence transitions and less fatigue from the lighter band. XForce is the lateral-stiffening claim.
Power vs control
Official ratings sit in the middle. This is not Hack/XPLO and not a pure control round.
Handling
350–360 g plus medium balance is the handling story. That is why it exists beside Vertex 05 W.
Comfort
Glaphite is specified as flexible and resistant. Intermediate touch.
Sweet spot / forgiveness
Hybrid + lighter band is more usable than a Pro diamond. Still not Indiga’s round SoftEva.
Materials
Glaphite, Multieva, CarbonTube, XForce, 3Dgrain.
Buy if
- You want the official Ionic Light 26: hybrid, 350–360 g, medium balance, Glaphite and Multieva.
- You already have basic contact and want a lighter Next-line racket, not Pro Line 12K.
Skip if
- You are brand new — start with Indiga CTR.
- You want Vertex 05 or Hack 04 construction.
Not ideal for: Absolute beginners who need Indiga CTR · Advanced players who want 12K Vertex or Hack
How it decides
- Power6.2
Official power rating is 2/5 on the Ionic Light sheet.
- Control7.0
Official control 2.5 with versatile positioning.
- Forgiveness7.2
Hybrid + 350–360 g is more usable than Pro diamonds; not a large beginner round.
- Maneuverability8.6
Official maneuverability 3.5 and a published 350–360 g band.
- Comfort7.4
Glaphite is specified as a flexible carbon/glass mix. Intermediate touch.
- Stability6.8
XForce is specified to stiffen the frame at the balance point; still a light Next racket.
These are explainable buying attributes with source type, not laboratory measurements or a Kitletics overall score.

Padel Racket Weight Explained
Weight is a primary handling filter. Ionic Light and Motion-class frames illustrate lighter handling. Flagships like Vertex 05 and Metalbone 3.5 sit in typical adult bands where stability and authority rise — if you can swing them on time.
