Padel Rackets

Q: What is the most important factor when choosing a padel racket?
A: For most players, the key factors are weight and balance. A lighter, rounder racket (like our beginner models) is easier to handle and offers more control, while a heavier, head-heavy racket provides more power but is less forgiving.

Q: What's the difference between a round and a diamond-shaped racket?
A: Round rackets have a central, larger sweet spot, making them ideal for control and defence (great for beginners). Diamond-shaped rackets have a higher sweet spot and are more head-heavy, generating more power in smashes (suited for advanced players).

Q: How do I know when to upgrade to an intermediate racket?
A: When you start playing regularly and feel that your technique is consistent, but you need more power and responsiveness from your shots, it's a good time to consider upgrading from a purely beginner-focused racket.

Q: All your rackets are 'designed for UK conditions'. What does this mean?
A: Padel racket cores can become hard and unresponsive in cold weather. We use a special cold-weather resin in our frames that maintains its flexibility and performance, ensuring you get a consistent and powerful shot, even on a cold British morning.

Protecting Your Padel Racket:

• Storage is Key: Always keep your racket in a padel bag when not in use. This protects it from scratches, impact, and extreme temperatures (like the inside of a hot car).
• Keep it Clean & Dry: After playing, wipe the frame and face with a dry cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Ensure the grip is dry before storing it.
• Use a Frame Protector: Consider adding a transparent frame protector to the top of the racket head to guard against chips and scrapes from contact with the court walls and floor.
• Check Your Grip: A worn-out grip can affect your control. Replace your overgrip regularly to maintain a secure and comfortable hold.
