NewIn stock — dispatched within 24 hours

£189.90

Full carbon fibre face — a firm, responsive surface that gives your volleys and smashes more bite than fibreglass.

Soft EVA core — the foam absorbs part of the impact, so long rallies stay comfortable on the arm.

Teardrop shape — a balanced head that mixes power and control, ideal when you are moving up from your first racket.

One-piece thermoformed build — face and frame are moulded together for a solid, consistent feel across the face.

The problem

My first racket feels dead and soft, and my smashes never really get past the opponent.

How it helps your game

The Flamingo replaces a basic beginner racket with a full carbon fibre face on a soft EVA core: the carbon gives the ball a crisper exit, while the foam keeps the touch forgiving and easy on the arm.

Its teardrop shape sits between the control of a round racket and the power of a diamond, so you can keep playing your usual game while adding speed. At 38 mm thick and 350-370 g, it is a standard adult format, finished with a non-slip grip and a wrist strap.

Perfect for…

You have played a few months and want a step up from an entry racket.

You want more power without losing the comfort of a soft core.

You like a balanced, all-round shape rather than an aggressive diamond.

You want a racket that stands out on court.

01

Choose it bare or with its padded cover

The Flamingo comes in two versions: the racket on its own, or the racket with a padded black cover that protects the face and frame in your sports bag.

The cover is handy if you travel to the club with shoes and bottles in the same bag, and it keeps the bright pink finish looking fresh for longer.

02

A teardrop that suits the way you already play

The teardrop head puts the sweet spot slightly higher than a round racket, which gives your volleys and smashes extra speed without making defence harder.

It is a natural choice for players who have mastered the basics and now want to be more decisive at the net while keeping good control from the back of the court.

03

Carbon on the outside, soft foam inside

The face is made of carbon fibre over a soft EVA foam core, moulded in one piece for a solid feel.

The carbon keeps the ball fast off the face, while the soft core cushions impacts and makes slower, placed shots easy to control. The face is drilled with a regular pattern of holes to keep it light through the air.

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

Teardrop
Soft EVA core
370 g

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.
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.

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
This racket
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.

This racket
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.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for a beginner?

It suits players who already know the basics. A complete beginner can use it, but its carbon face is firmer than an entry fibreglass racket. If you are just starting, a lighter round racket is more forgiving.

How heavy is it?

The racket weighs 350-370 g, a standard adult weight, with a 38 mm profile, a length of 45.5 cm and a grip length of 12.5 cm.

What is the difference between the two versions?

The racket is identical. One version is the racket only; the other adds a padded black cover to protect it in your bag.

Is it comfortable for my arm?

The soft EVA core absorbs part of the shock on each hit. If you suffer from elbow pain, consult a professional before changing equipment.

How long will delivery take?

Every order is dispatched within 24 hours on working days. Standard Royal Mail delivery is free and takes 7–9 working days, with tracking. Need it sooner? Choose Priority delivery (5–7 working days) for £2.90 at checkout.

What if it's not right for me?

You have 30 days after delivery to return it unused and in its original packaging. A racket must not have been played on court (no marks, protective film and labels still on). Email help@padelviro.com with your order number and we'll guide you through the return. Faulty items are always covered.
