Padel rackets

Padel rackets

Choosing a racket is where a lot of players get stuck. Shapes, weights and materials differ quite a bit between models, and the right padel racket depends on your level as much as on what you like to feel when you hit.

You'll find rackets for people just starting out, control models, more attacking ones, and ranges for players who want a little of both.

What racket shape do you need?

What are padel rackets usually made of?

Carbon, fibreglass and EVA rubber appear in most current ranges. The mix changes ball exit, stiffness, comfort on contact and how the racket behaves on smashes.

That's why two rackets with a similar shape can feel nothing alike once you're on court.

Rackets for every type of player

Players don't all want the same thing. Some care most about placing the ball and keeping control of the point. Others want a racket that answers back harder when it's time to attack.

Then there are all-round models. They suit players who swap between defence and attack all match and don't want to give up either.

When should you change your racket?

There's no exact moment. Some players keep one racket for several seasons, others renew far more often. Wear, knocks against the walls or the floor and a loss of feel are the usual reasons to think about a change.

Many players also switch when their level improves and new needs show up on court.
