Padel rackets

What criteria should be taken into account when choosing?

First of all, it's worth noting that the padel racket differs from the tennis racket in several ways. It has a multitude of holes to allow air circulation, is shorter, and is thicker. Furthermore, padel is played on a specific court with specific balls, which means that the selection criteria for padel rackets are different from those for tennis rackets. With a multitude of padel racket models available, it can be difficult to find the one that best suits your needs. Therefore, it is crucial to identify your needs based on your level of play and style, taking several criteria into account. Initially, we recommend considering three main criteria:

• the shape of the racket;
• the weight of the racket;your level of play.

The shape of the Padel racket

There are 3 different shapes of Padel rackets:

The teardrop shape is the most versatile and suitable for a wide range of players, from beginners to experienced players with good technique. It is particularly recommended for powerful players who like to play with force, and its centered balance provides great maneuverability.

• Diamond Shape: The diamond shape is recommended for experienced players with excellent technique, as it maximizes shot power, but it can lead to more unforced errors for an average player. Generally, diamond-shaped rackets are head-balanced for more power.
• Teardrop Shape: The teardrop shape is the most versatile and suitable for a wide range of players, from beginners to regular players with good technique. It is particularly recommended for powerful players who like to play with force, and its centered balance provides excellent maneuverability.
• Round Shape: Round-shaped rackets offer a lot of control and are particularly suitable for beginners and recreational players. Thanks to their handle balance and round shape, they offer excellent maneuverability and allow beginners to progress quickly.

Weight of Padel Rackets

Padel rackets, like tennis rackets, are distinguished by their weight. In general, the average weight of a padel racket is 350g. For beginner players, we recommend opting for a racket lighter than 350g to have more control, mastery, and maneuverability in your shots. On the other hand, if you are a smaller, versatile player, we recommend choosing a racket weighing 350g, to achieve a good compromise between control and power. If you are looking for more power and have good technique, a racket heavier than 350g would be appropriate, because as with tennis rackets, the heavier the racket, the more power it provides. However, good technique is essential to maintain good maneuverability.

Level of play

We distinguish three profiles of padel players:

• Beginner players: We recommend choosing a racquet that offers maximum control to avoid unforced errors.
• Advanced players: They can opt for a well-balanced and versatile racquet, offering a good compromise between control and power.
• Experienced players: They tend to prioritize attack. We therefore advise these players to choose a powerful model to optimize their playing style.
