Round Padel Rackets

Round padel rackets

Of all the shapes, round padel rackets are the ones that give you the most control . The sweet spot is big and sits right in the centre, so the ball still goes roughly where you meant it to when your contact isn't perfect. They also hold up very well when you're the one having to defend. At Time2Padel you'll find them from Bullpadel, Adidas, Nox and Siux.

What makes a racket round?

• Wide, central sweet spot: forgives the shots you don't quite catch cleanly.
• Low balance: more control, and it's easier to move around.
• Medium weight, 360 to 375 g: stable enough, still light.
• Soft or medium EVA rubber: good feel. Less vibration.
• Fibreglass or flexible carbon faces: comfortable on impact.

Who is a round racket for?

Players just starting out

It's the easiest shape to learn with confidently, as the big sweet spot covers up a lot of off-centre hits.

Defensive, technical players

If you build the point from the back and put accuracy ahead of raw power, a round racket tends to be your best friend in long rallies.

Players with a niggling arm

The low balance and soft rubber make it more comfortable, and easier to control, than a diamond padel racket.
