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
- 3K carbon
- Teardrop
- 360 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.
- This racket
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.
- This racket
Teardrop
Sweet spot in the middle of the head and a medium balance. The all-rounder, for players who defend and attack.
Diamond
Sweet spot high in the head and a head-heavy balance. Built for power on smashes; it asks for good technique.
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.
Medium Density 15–17
A balanced foam: comfortable enough for long rallies, firm enough to finish the point.
Hard Density 19–22
A dense, firm foam that rewards fast, full swings with maximum power. Less comfortable on slow balls.
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.
