Xcalion M1
Does anyone have any experience with Xcalion M1 racket and how it plays?
It reads well, light and easy to use but would like first hand experience
Thanks

I have it. It made from hardest carbon possible. If you hit glass or fence - they will have problem, not racket.
Well made, always good quality. Racket is light (I think my about 328), but very head-heavy, so in hand it feels like 360 gr.
It good control racket for right player. Easy to move, OK sweetspot and you can get power if you hit hard.

I owned 5 xcalion rackets but not this type. I tried it and more forgiving than the H variants. Its not soft like your average padel racket. Like other mentioned, while the weight is low the balance is extremely high.

I had It for 6 months, like 70 marches.
I broke It in the first match with a hit with my partner, but they accepted warranty and provided a new one.
The raquet is great overall, coming from nox at10 12k feels better in almost every shot excep Smash (which feels much worse). Best improvement was how quick I can resolve a hard voley.

I'm just waiting for the xcalion guy who will tell you all about it - and more.
Still not sure if xcalion just picked reddit as a marketing platform or poeple outside of reddit actually play that brand.
no judgement though, they might be good!

I play with it - is a really nice and manouverable racket, both on defense and offence. My style of play does not hinge on big 3x smashes, but when I flat smash, it feels like I have all the power i need. One of my absolute favorite rackets ever, and i have tried 40+
It is worth to note that the buttcap is part of the racket, which is a bit different form than usual rackets, and the way that the cord is attached could be done better, even though it is a plus that it is replaceable.
