Osaka Vision Beach Tennis Racket: Specs, ITF Rules and Buying Guide

The Osaka Vision beach tennis racket is a glass fibre racket aimed at intermediate players, listed with a 22mm profile and a 335 to 355 gram weight range. This guide is based on the manufacturer’s published specifications and category standards rather than hands-on testing, so every figure below comes from a retailer’s spec sheet or from the International Tennis Federation’s published rules.

Before the specs, one warning that will save you ordering the wrong thing. There are two different products that people call a “Vision beach tennis racket,” made by two unrelated companies, and one is glass fibre while the other is carbon.

Osaka Vision or Vision Beach Tennis? They Are Different Brands

Osaka is a Dutch racket-sports brand, and Vision is the name of one of its models. Vision Beach Tennis is a separate Italian company, operating as New Vision Project srl, whose brand name is Vision. Search for “Vision beach tennis racket” and you will get both.

The difference goes beyond the badge:

• Osaka Vision: 100% glass fibre core and face, 22mm profile, 335 to 355g, aimed at intermediate players
• Vision (the Italian brand): carbon rackets. The Vision White Carbon 2026, for example, lists Carbon 3K, 315 to 330g, a 21mm thickness and a 500mm length at €199

If a listing says “Vision” and quotes a carbon layup and a euro price, you are probably looking at the Italian brand. If it says Osaka and quotes glass fibre, it is the racket this guide covers. Check the brand field as well as the model name.

What Are the Osaka Vision Beach Tennis Racket Specs?

Osaka’s own website no longer lists any beach tennis rackets, so the detailed spec sheet now comes from retailers. According to a Racquet Point listing, as of October 2026:

• Core: 100% glass fibre
• Face: glass fibre
• Foam: 10 to 13K Soft Snap EVA
• Surface: sand-sprayed spin coating
• Profile: 22mm
• Weight: 335 to 355g
• Hole configuration: 30 holes
• Level: intermediate
• Colours: Electric Blue, Fluo Pink and White
• Price: $115 at that retailer, with all three colours in stock at the time of writing

A note on availability. Osaka’s own store carried this racket until recently and now sells no beach tennis equipment at all, and several retailer product pages for it redirect to their homepages. The listing above is live, but treat this as a model that is selling through rather than one with a long shelf life ahead of it.

Listings also disagree on the construction. The detailed spec sheet above says 100% glass fibre with no carbon anywhere, while some third-party listings describe the racket in different terms. Where listings conflict, the one with the full specification table is the better guide, and glass fibre versus carbon is the single spec worth confirming before you pay.

Is the Osaka Vision Legal Under ITF Rules?

On its published dimensions, yes. Beach tennis is governed by the International Tennis Federation, and Appendix II of the ITF Rules of Beach Tennis 2025 sets out what a legal racket must be. In the ITF’s wording, a racket must meet all of these:

• The hitting surface, “the flat area of the racket head bounded by the inner edge of the rim or holes larger than 13 mm in diameter, whichever is smaller,” must not exceed 30cm in length and 26cm in width
• The racket “must not exceed 50 cm in length from the butt of the handle to the tip of the racket head,” and the head must not exceed 26cm in width
• The thickness “must be constant and must not exceed 38 mm”
• Holes greater than 13mm must not extend more than 40mm from the rim, except holes forming part of the throat
• The racket must carry no device providing communication, advice or instruction during a match

The Vision’s 22mm profile sits comfortably inside the 38mm thickness limit. Note what is missing from that list: there is no weight limit for a beach tennis racket anywhere in the ITF rules. Weight limits appear only in Appendix III, which covers the ball. So the 335 to 355g figure is about how the racket feels and plays, not about whether you can compete with it.

One rule catches beginners out. Rule 5 of the same document asks directly whether a player may use a stringed racket, and the answer given is “No.” A beach tennis racket is a solid, stringless paddle with drilled holes. If you are coming from tennis, you cannot bring your tennis racket to a beach tennis court.

What Does Glass Fibre Mean for How It Plays?

Beach tennis rackets are generally built from glass fibre, carbon, or a mix. The retailer’s spec sheet describes the Vision’s glass fibre construction as delivering “a soft, responsive feel that absorbs impact while providing consistent feedback,” and frames the racket as “engineered for intermediate players who value comfort, control, and effortless playability.”

Read that as positioning rather than measurement, but the broad trade-off in the category is real and worth understanding before you spend:

• Glass fibre flexes more. That generally means a softer feel and more forgiveness on off-centre hits, at the cost of some of the stiff, direct response stronger players look for.
• Carbon is stiffer and typically costs more, which is why the carbon models from other brands sit at higher price points.

The Vision’s other listed details follow the same comfort-first logic. The Soft Snap EVA foam is described as adding cushioning and shock absorption, and the 22mm profile as giving “added stability without sacrificing maneuverability.” The sand-sprayed coating is a textured surface for grip on the ball, which is how beach tennis rackets generate spin without strings.

How Should You Choose a Beach Tennis Racket Weight?

Since the rules do not decide this for you, weight is where personal preference matters most. The Vision’s 335 to 355g range sits in the middle of what the category offers, with the Italian carbon models cited above listed lighter at 315 to 330g.

A few points worth knowing:

• The range is a range. A 20g spread means the racket you receive may be at either end of it. If a precise weight matters to you, ask the retailer before ordering.
• Heavier is not automatically more powerful. It adds stability through the ball, but it also tires your arm and slows your reactions at the net, where beach tennis points are mostly decided.
• Grip tape and an overgrip add weight. Anything you add to the handle changes both the total weight and where the balance sits.

A common mistake is to buy on construction alone, assuming carbon is simply better. For an intermediate player, a forgiving glass fibre racket that is comfortable for a two-hour session on sand is often the more useful tool than a stiff carbon one that punishes mishits.

Who Is the Osaka Vision Best For?

On its published specifications, it suits an improving recreational player who wants a comfortable, forgiving racket for regular social play, and who likes the idea of a thicker, more stable frame. At $115 it sits below the carbon models from specialist brands.

It is a weaker fit for a strong player who wants the stiffness and precision of a carbon layup, for anyone who needs a specific weight rather than a range, and for a buyer who wants the reassurance of long-term availability and brand support, given that Osaka no longer lists beach tennis gear on its own site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Osaka Vision beach tennis racket made of?

Retailer spec sheets list a 100% glass fibre core and face, with a 10 to 13K Soft Snap EVA foam and a sand-sprayed spin coating. It is not a carbon racket. Listings that describe it as carbon are most likely confusing it with the Italian brand Vision.

How much does the Osaka Vision beach tennis racket weigh?

It is listed at 335 to 355 grams. That is a range rather than a fixed figure, so ask the retailer if you need a specific weight. The ITF sets no weight limit for beach tennis rackets.

Is the Osaka Vision racket ITF legal?

On its published dimensions it meets the ITF’s 2025 requirements, including the 38mm maximum thickness, since it is listed at a 22mm profile. The ITF also caps the racket at 50cm long with a head no wider than 26cm.

Is it true that you can use a tennis racket for beach tennis?

No. The ITF Rules of Beach Tennis address this directly, asking whether a player may use a stringed racket and answering “No.” Beach tennis rackets are solid and stringless, with drilled holes.

Is Osaka the same brand as Vision Beach Tennis?

No. Osaka is a Dutch racket-sports brand and Vision is one of its models. Vision Beach Tennis is a separate Italian company that sells carbon rackets under the Vision name. Check the brand field on any listing before ordering.

How much does the Osaka Vision cost?

It was listed at $115 at a US retailer at the time of writing, in Electric Blue, Fluo Pink and White. Prices vary by retailer and region, and availability is narrowing as the model sells through.

Final Thoughts

The Osaka Vision beach tennis racket is a glass fibre, EVA-cored racket at 22mm thick and 335 to 355 grams, sold around $115 and positioned for intermediate players who want comfort and forgiveness rather than stiffness.

Check two things before you buy. Make sure the listing says Osaka and glass fibre, so you are not accidentally ordering from the unrelated Italian brand of the same model name. And if availability matters to you, buy sooner rather than later, because Osaka no longer lists beach tennis rackets on its own site and retailer listings are thinning out.
