Round head, centred sweet spot — mishits still go back over the net, which keeps first games fun.

Ready-to-play set — 2 rackets, 2 balls and a carry bag: everything two players need for a first session.

The problem

You want to try padel without spending a lot on gear you may not keep using.

How it helps your game

The Rookie is built for your first matches. The round head puts the sweet spot in the centre, and the soft EVA core makes the ball come off the face gently, so control comes before power.

Take the set for two — 2 rackets, 2 balls and a carry bag — or a single racket if a friend already has one. Four designs make it easy to tell whose racket is whose, and the wrist strap keeps it on your arm.

Perfect for…

You are new to padel and want a forgiving first racket.

You want to play with your child, partner or a friend right away.

You are buying a first racket for a junior player.

You want a spare racket for guests at the club.

01

Two players, one bag, ready for the court

The set holds 2 rackets, 2 balls and a carry bag: book a court, grab the bag and you both have what you need for a first session.

Prefer one racket only? Each design is also sold on its own, so a second player can join later.

02

Light enough for a junior

The Rookie is listed for kids as well as adults: at 47cm long it suits a young player learning the basics.

The wrist strap keeps the racket attached during big swings, and the short handle is easy for small hands to hold.

03

Forgiving when you are still learning

The round head places the sweet spot in the centre of the face, so off-centre hits still clear the net more often than not.

With the soft EVA core, the ball leaves the face gently: you work on placement and rhythm before chasing power.

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

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.

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.

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

What is included in the set?

The set contains 2 rackets in the same design, 2 balls and 1 carry bag. The single option is 1 racket on its own.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, it is listed for kids and adults. It is 47cm long with a wrist strap; younger children should play with an adult nearby.

Is this racket good for improving players?

It is designed for beginners: soft core, round head and a forgiving centre. Once you hit harder and want more power, an intermediate carbon racket will suit you better.

There are four designs: red, orange, yellow and white. Each one is available as a set of 2 or as a single racket.
