Asics Lima

Asics is not a brand with a strong padel background.  This is more of a brand for the out-of-the-box thinkers.

The Lima racket is top of the line for advanced players.  It was designed by Asics with Pablo Lima in mind, an aggressive-style padel player, who bases his game on speed and power.  Brazilian Lima has been, as Fernando Belasteguin’s partner, ranked no.1 at the World Padel Tour for nearly three years.

The Nemesis racket was originally introduced in 2019.  But it appears that due to its success Dunlop decided to keep it in its catalog.

Do you like playing aggressive and bombing your opponents with your big smashes? Then this is your next racket. It can handle pro beast padel player Ramiro Moyano.  It can surely handle you!

This racket has most of his weight on the upper part of the head to make your smashes even harder. The form is oversized, consequently the sweet-spot is relatively big for this type of rackets.
