Lacoste padel rackets
Lacoste has a padel racket line too. The look stays plain and easy to place, much like the polo shirts. Most of the models suit players who care about feel on court and will happily spend a minute checking how a racket is built and finished. That sort of thing tends to matter to them.
Some days you're stuck on a long rally, shifting the ball from side to side and waiting for the gap. Other days the point is over in three shots and you want the racket to bite back. The range has models for both kinds of player, and the choice depends on how patient you tend to be.
What makes a Lacoste padel racket different?
- Design: clean lines and not much fuss. You can tell it's a Lacoste from the court next door.
- Materials: fibreglass or carbon, or a mix of the two, depending on the model.
- Different feels: options for different tastes in how a racket plays.
- Versatility: balanced models that cope with defending at the back and attacking at the net.
A collection built around today's player
Ask about Lacoste at the club and someone will say balanced. Fair enough. The racket behaves much the same whether you're blocking a volley at the net or scraping a ball out of the back corner after it's come off the glass. Most models sit comfortably in the hand and turn quickly in a fast exchange. When a loose ball floats up and you go after it, there's still a solid response off the face. Same feel on the attack as in defence.
It tends to catch the eye of players who've been at it a few years. By then they know what they like, and a lot of them want a racket with some care in the finish. Something that doesn't look like every other one sitting in the bags by the bench.
Lacoste beyond padel rackets
The racket is only part of it. Lacoste also puts its name on padel clothing and shoes, plus a handful of smaller bits for court that round off the kit.
A player who already wears the polo or the shoes on court can match the racket to them without much effort. It's a small thing, but plenty of people notice.
Who are Lacoste padel rackets for?
Some players walk onto court wanting a racket that forgives a mistimed shot. Others would rather have something firmer for the smash, or a bandeja that actually bites. The Lacoste range has both. Which camp you fall into usually shows itself after a quick rally or two before the match starts.
Lacoste padel rackets come in a fair few shapes, balances and set-ups. Intermediate players have plenty to look through. So does anyone who's on court four or five evenings a week and already knows what they like.
