ORBIT - BARKIE - Carbon
€100,00 EUR
~ Amsterdam allure, next-level performance ~
Our newest and boldest racket: the Barkie. A striking blue-and-yellow racket with a bold design, made not for doubters but for players with courage. Built for power play on and off the court. When you play with the Barkie, you play to win.
With its AeroSpin holes, the Barkie has an optimal hole pattern that improves aerodynamics. The 3D hexagonal pattern increases your spin and grip, while the CarbonX frame delivers the perfect stiffness and precision. This lets you put as much spin on the ball as you want.
Both the frame and the face are made from 100% DuraCarbon: a lightweight yet ultra-strong material for maximum power and durability. The core of EVA Blackcore provides the right blend of power and control, ideal for both controlled and attacking play. The teardrop shape positions the sweet spot slightly higher on the racket for extra power.
Make an impression on the court with this striking yellow-and-blue racket. The ice print sets the tone for ice-cold shots and power play on and off the court. With metallic yellow in the frame and St Andrew's crosses, you step onto the court with unmistakable Amsterdam swagger. And the best part? It only costs you a barkie!

If you place your order before 16:00, we will hand the parcel over to PostNL the same day. At the end of the afternoon, we will send you a Track & Trace code so you can follow the parcel. It will usually arrive the next day.
Not home at the time of delivery?
If you are not at home, PostNL will try to deliver the parcel to one of your neighbours. They will leave a note explaining where the parcel was delivered. You can also see this through the Track & Trace code we emailed you. If delivery to a neighbour is not possible, the parcel will be taken to a collection point near you.

You have the right to return the parcel to us within 14 days of receipt. The return address is:

To return a parcel, the products must still be in their original, unused condition. For example, if the film has been removed from a padel racket handle, we can no longer sell the racket to another customer as new and therefore cannot issue a full refund.
How to return an item to us:
- Go to your account by logging in at www.orbitpadel.nl
- Go to your order and click 'request return'
- Select a return reason and click 'request return' again.
We will review your request within a few hours and email you a return label, allowing you to return the parcel to us free of charge.
Once we have received the product or products in good condition, we will process the return and refund.
Orbit does everything possible to prevent damage to your racket. Together with our partners, we continuously optimise our production processes to maintain a high level of quality.
Should one of our products sustain unexpected damage or have visible defects, we will be happy to help find a solution.
What is not covered by the warranty?
In summary, we do not accept returns of rackets with the following damage:
- Rackets where the plastic seal has been removed from the handle;
- Racket with water damage;
- Impact damage / wear
- Damaged by hitting the glass wall;

Any cracks in a padel racket that originate on the outside are not covered by our warranty. Such a crack indicates that the racket's strong frame was struck through contact with another object or surface.

Orbit - Play your style
At ORBIT, we believe everyone should be able to step onto the court with a unique, beautifully designed, high-quality racket at a competitive and fair price.
We safeguard quality by choosing the best manufacturing partners, who hand-finish every racket, and by extensively testing and developing different materials, moulds, hole patterns, protectors and more. We continuously monitor trends and implement the latest technologies.
We also do everything possible to keep product prices low by limiting marketing costs, for example by avoiding expensive advertising at padel events. After all, our best advertisement is the racket itself on the court in the hands of one of our happy customers.
