The problem

An adult racket is too long and too heavy for a child, who quickly gets tired and discouraged.

How it helps your game

This junior racket is made to a child's scale. It is light and short, so a young player can hold it comfortably, bring it back in time and swing through the ball without straining.

The fibreglass and kevlar build is forgiving on first contact, which suits children learning to rally. It keeps every feature of a real padel racket: a solid perforated face, a short handle and a wrist strap, so the habits they learn carry over when they grow.

Perfect for…

Your child wants to join you on the padel court.

They are starting lessons or a junior club session.

An adult racket is clearly too big or too heavy for them.

You want a first racket that looks fun and is easy to handle.

Sized for young players

01

Sized for young players

A junior racket should not be a cut-down adult one. This model is light and short, so a child can hold it at the right length and move it quickly at the net.

Less weight means less fatigue, longer rallies and more fun, which is what keeps children coming back to the court.

Fibreglass and kevlar for first rallies

02

Fibreglass and kevlar for first rallies

The face is made of fibreglass and kevlar, a forgiving combination for players who are still learning to time the ball.

The glossy finish wipes clean after a session, and the perforations across the face are those of a real padel racket, so nothing needs relearning later.

A real padel racket, just smaller

A real padel racket, just smaller

Solid perforated face, short handle with a white grip and a wrist strap to keep the racket safe if it slips: your child plays with proper kit.

The bright turquoise and yellow design is easy to spot on court and in the kit bag.

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

  • Fibreglass
  • 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.

  • This racketClose-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.

  • Plain 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.

  • Cross-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.

Frequently asked questions

What age is it for?
It is a light, short racket designed for children. The supplier does not give an exact age range, so compare it with your child's size: if an adult racket is clearly too long for them, this one is the right step.
Is it a real padel racket or a toy?
It is a real padel racket: solid perforated face, short handle and wrist strap, made of fibreglass and kevlar. It is simply lighter and shorter to suit a child.
Can an adult use it?
It is built for children. An adult will find it short in the hand; for grown-up beginners, see our beginner range.
How should my child use the wrist strap?
Slip the strap over the wrist before every game and tighten it. If the racket slips during a swing, it stays attached instead of flying across the court.
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.
