Lok Be Hype 2
Lok Be Hype 2
The Lok Be Hype 2 is a padel racket developed for intermediate to advanced players who base their game on control, comfort and consistency. This model is clearly not a power racket and is not built to finish points with raw power. The Be Hype 2 is geared towards point construction, composure and margin for error.
Within the Lok range, the Be Hype 2 sits clearly on the control side. Compared to the Jungle and Carbon Hype models, this racket is noticeably calmer, more forgiving and less demanding.
What type of player is this racket suited for
The Lok Be Hype 2 is mainly suited to right side players at an intermediate to advanced level who want to build up and control the game. Players who play a lot of rallies and work with placement, lobs and controlled volleys will get the most out of this racket.
For left side players who base their game on smashes and finishing, this racket is less suitable. The Be Hype 2 does not support explosive power and isn't built for a finishing role.
Key Features
The round to lightly hybrid shape gives a low, centrally positioned sweet spot. This increases control and forgiveness, especially on less than clean contact. The balance is low to medium, which makes the racket manoeuvrable and gives composure in defensive situations.
The face is built from fibreglass combined with carbon and has a soft to medium blade feel. The blade is clearly not hard. Thanks to the lower carbon concentration and more flex, the racket offers plenty of ball feel and comfort, but delivers little direct power on hard shots.
The core consists of soft EVA rubber, which reinforces the comfortable character and effectively dampens vibration. This makes the racket suited to longer playing sessions and players who are sensitive to arm or shoulder strain.
Playing Feel and Performance
On court, the Lok Be Hype 2 feels composed, controlled and forgiving. In rallies you play with plenty of certainty and control, while attacking shots mainly depend on technique and timing. The racket helps with consistent play, but not with forcing points.
The Lok Be Hype 2 is therefore a clear choice for right side players and players who value control, comfort and point construction more than power, within the Lok range.

Shape
Round:
Round rackets have a low balance with a large sweet spot (ideal hitting point) in the center of the racket. Round rackets are very maneuverable and offer a lot of control. Perfect for beginners or experienced players who desire a lot of control in their game.
Droplet:
Droplet rackets have a slightly higher balance and a slightly smaller sweet spot. This provides an excellent balance between control and power. These versatile rackets are suitable for intermediate players and various playing styles.
Diamond:
The balance point is towards the top of the racket and the sweet spot is even smaller. The racket is less maneuverable but offers maximum power. These rackets are suitable for advanced players with an attacking playing style.
Hybrid:
Hybrid rackets combine features of droplet and diamond-shaped rackets. These hybrid shapes are often difficult to classify or even completely new. Usually, these rackets offer a mix of power and comfort. These rackets are often ideal for intermediate to advanced players and are accessible for multiple play styles.
Game type
Controlling:
These rackets are focused on precision and consistency, allowing players more control over their shots. They usually have a lower balance point and a larger sweet spot, making them suitable for players who prefer placement and tactics over power.
All-Round:
This type of racket offers a balanced mix of power, control, and maneuverability, making it suitable for various playing styles and skill levels. They are versatile and can be used for both offensive and controlling game strategies, with a sweet spot that offers a compromise between power and precision.
Attacking:
These rackets are designed to promote powerful shots and help players generate speed and spin for aggressive attacks. They often have a higher balance point for extra power in smashes and volleys, but a smaller sweet spot for more precision and control over powerful shots.
Touch
Soft Touch:
Rackets with a soft touch provide players with a subtle feel and cushioning when hitting the ball. These rackets absorb vibrations and offer more comfort, making them ideal for players who prefer control and precision over pure power.
Medium Touch:
Rackets with a medium touch offer a balanced mix of control and power. They provide sufficient feedback to the player when hitting the ball while still offering a good level of comfort. These rackets are suitable for players looking for versatile performance.
Hard Touch:
Rackets with a hard touch provide a more direct feel and less cushioning on impact. They deliver more power to shots and promote aggressive play, making them ideal for players seeking maximum hitting power and explosiveness.
Feeling
Light Feeling:
Rackets with a light feeling offer not only speed and maneuverability but are also less prone to causing injuries and feel comfortable during long play sessions. These rackets are ideal for players looking for a sense of control without compromising on comfort and arm health.
Medium Feeling:
Rackets with a medium feeling provide a balanced combination of control, power, and comfort. They give sufficient feedback to the player when hitting the ball and are suitable for players of various levels looking for reliable performance.
Heavy Feeling:
Rackets with a heavy feeling offer players more stability and power with each stroke, but they also often feel a bit heavier in the hand. These rackets are suitable for players who prefer a solid feel and maximum hitting power, even if it means a bit of extra weight.
Blade
Smooth:
Rackets with a smooth surface provide players with a consistent and smooth hitting experience. This surface minimizes friction and promotes quick ball movement, making it ideal for players who prefer control and precision in their shots.
Sand:
Rackets with a sand surface have a rougher texture that offers more grip on the ball. This surface enhances spin and placement, allowing players to impart more spin to their shots and better manipulate the ball during play.
3D:
Rackets with a 3D surface feature a relief pattern that is three-dimensional, creating a unique texture. This surface promotes spin, control, and precision, allowing players to add more variety and spin to their shots while maintaining a comfortable grip.
