The problem

I'd love to practise my padel strokes between sessions, but a real ball is too hard for home.

How it helps your game

The Bounce set is made for practice away from the court: a lightweight padel-style racket and a quiet soft foam ball that will not mark walls or rattle windows.

The ribbed ball grips the face for easy spin, and the compact racket (43 cm, 3 cm thick) is light enough for children and adults alike. It is not a regulation competition racket, but a fun way to work on hand-eye coordination and swing.

Perfect for…

You want to practise strokes at home or in the garden.

You are introducing children or the whole family to padel.

You need a quiet game for indoor play.

You are looking for a small, playful gift for a padel fan.

Rally indoors without the noise

01

Rally indoors without the noise

The soft foam ball is light and silent, so you can practise in a living room, hallway or garage without worrying about walls or windows.

It is perfect for rainy days, for warming up before a match, or for keeping children busy with a racket in hand.

Take it to the garden or on holiday

02

Take it to the garden or on holiday

The set is just as happy outdoors: on the lawn, in the park or at the campsite, the foam ball keeps rallies gentle and fun.

The lightweight racket with its wrist strap is easy to pack, and quick to hand to friends and family.

Spin made easy

03

Spin made easy

The ball's ribbed grooves grip the racket face, so brushing the ball sideways or underneath produces visible spin.

It is a playful way to understand how slice and topspin work before trying them with a real padel ball on court.

Racket guide

Choose the right padel racket

Four things decide how a padel racket feels: the material of the face, the shape of the head, the density of the foam core and the surface finish. Here is what each one changes on court.

This racket

  • Round
  • Soft EVA core
  • Glossy finish

Surface material

The face is a thin layer of fibreglass or carbon laid over the foam core. The "K" is the number of carbon filaments per thread, in thousands: the higher it is, the wider the weave and, in general, the stiffer and more direct the face.

  • Close-up of a Fibreglass racket face

    Fibreglass

    Flexible and forgiving. The ball leaves the face easily with little effort, which suits beginners and relaxed games.

  • Close-up of a 3K carbon racket face

    3K carbon

    The finest carbon weave. Light and responsive, with a good balance between feel and stiffness.

  • Close-up of a 12K carbon racket face

    12K carbon

    A wider weave and a firmer face. More direct response, a little less give on soft shots.

  • Close-up of a 18K carbon racket face

    18K carbon

    Stiffer still. A firm, precise feel for players who already generate their own pace.

  • Close-up of a 24K carbon racket face

    24K carbon

    The widest weave and the stiffest face of the range. Very precise, and the least forgiving when you miss the centre.

Racket shape

The shape decides where the sweet spot sits and how the weight is balanced. The lower the sweet spot, the easier the racket is to control; the higher it is, the more power you get on smashes.

  • This racketPlain black padel racket with a Round head, front view

    Round

    Large sweet spot low in the head and a balance close to the hand. Easy to handle and forgiving: the classic choice for control.

    Power
    Control
  • Plain black padel racket with a Teardrop head, front view

    Teardrop

    Sweet spot in the middle of the head and a medium balance. The all-rounder, for players who defend and attack.

    Power
    Control
  • Plain black padel racket with a Diamond head, front view

    Diamond

    Sweet spot high in the head and a head-heavy balance. Built for power on smashes; it asks for good technique.

    Power
    Control

Whatever the shape, a padel racket measures up to 45.5 cm long and 26 cm wide, with a profile of 30 to 38 mm.

EVA core density

Inside every padel racket is a block of EVA foam. A softer, lower-density foam absorbs more of the impact and gives the ball an easy exit; a harder, denser foam returns more energy when you hit hard.

  • This racketCross-section of a racket with a Soft EVA foam core

    Soft Density 10–13

    The most comfortable feel and an easy ball exit at slow and medium pace. Maximum comfort and control.

    Density
    Comfort
    Power
  • Cross-section of a racket with a Medium EVA foam core

    Medium Density 15–17

    A balanced foam: comfortable enough for long rallies, firm enough to finish the point.

    Density
    Comfort
    Power
  • Cross-section of a racket with a Hard EVA foam core

    Hard Density 19–22

    A dense, firm foam that rewards fast, full swings with maximum power. Less comfortable on slow balls.

    Comfort
    Power

Surface finish

The top coat changes how the face looks, how it ages and how much it grips the ball.

  • This racketClose-up of a Glossy racket surface

    Glossy

    A smooth, shiny clear coat that makes colours stand out and wipes clean easily.

  • Close-up of a Matte racket surface

    Matte

    A satin, non-reflective coat with a premium look. It shows fewer fingerprints and small marks.

  • Close-up of a Sandy (textured) racket surface

    Sandy (textured)

    A gritty, rough coat that grips the ball a little more on brushed shots, to help you add spin.

Which one is for me?

A starting point by level. Your own feel on court always comes first.

Not sure? A round or teardrop racket with a soft or medium core suits most club players.
