The problem

I've improved, but my beginner racket feels vague when I try to place the ball precisely.

How it helps your game

The Eclipse moves you up to 12K carbon: the finer weave gives a clearer, more precise response, so your lobs, chiquitas and volleys go where you aim.

Its round shape keeps the sweet spot central and forgiving, the flat face and 38 mm profile keep contact predictable, and the EVA core adds the power you need to finish. A non-slip grip and wrist strap complete it.

Perfect for…

You have outgrown your first racket.

You build points with placement rather than pure power.

You play from the back of the court and like long rallies.

You want a step into carbon without an aggressive diamond shape.

01

Control first, from the back of the court

The round head places the sweet spot low and central, which makes defence, lobs and returns off the glass more consistent.

It is the shape of choice for players who build points patiently and wait for the right moment to attack.

02

A finer carbon weave for a clearer touch

The 12K carbon face gives a more precise response than entry fibreglass or basic carbon, so you feel exactly how the ball leaves the racket.

The flat face keeps contact clean, and the drilled pattern keeps the racket quick through the air.

03

Secure in the hand

The white non-slip grip gives a firm hold, and the wrist strap keeps the racket safe during fast exchanges at the net.

With its EVA core, the Eclipse still delivers enough power when you decide to step in and finish the point.

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

12K carbon
Round

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.

Fibreglass

Flexible and forgiving. The ball leaves the face easily with little effort, which suits beginners and relaxed games.
3K carbon

The finest carbon weave. Light and responsive, with a good balance between feel and stiffness.
This racket
12K carbon

A wider weave and a firmer face. More direct response, a little less give on soft shots.
18K carbon

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

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

Power

Control
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.

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
Medium Density 15–17

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

Density

Comfort

Power
Hard Density 19–22

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

Density

Comfort

Power

Surface finish

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

Glossy

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

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

Level	Surface	Shape	Core	Finish
Beginner	Fibreglass or 3K carbon	Round	Soft	Any
Intermediate	3K or 12K carbon	Round or teardrop	Soft or medium	Matte or sandy
Advanced	12K to 24K carbon	Teardrop or diamond	Medium or hard	Sandy, for extra spin

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