The problem

I want a simple, discreet racket to learn padel without flashy graphics everywhere.

How it helps your game

The Shadow keeps everything simple: a plain black finish, a round head and an oversized sweet spot that helps you return more balls from your very first sessions.

The carbon fibre composite face over an EVA core gives a comfortable, controlled response, and the 68 holes keep the racket easy to swing. A wrist strap and grip tape are included.

Perfect for…

You are starting padel and want a forgiving racket.

You prefer a sober, all-black look.

You play casual matches with friends or family.

You want a spare racket for guests.

01

At home on any padel court

The round head and oversized sweet spot make it easy to keep rallies going, whether you play on an indoor club court or outdoors.

It is a relaxed, forgiving racket for learning the basic strokes and enjoying your first matches without fighting your equipment.

02

Light in the hand, quick at the net

The face is drilled with 68 aerodynamic holes, which lets the racket move quickly when the ball comes back fast at the net.

The wrist strap keeps it secure during fast exchanges, and the included grip tape lets you refresh the handle when it starts to wear.

03

Carbon composite face on an EVA core

The surface is a carbon fibre composite over an EVA foam core: firm enough to send the ball deep, soft enough to stay comfortable.

The reinforced throat adds stability on off-centre hits, and the plain black finish stays discreet on court.

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
Matte 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.

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.

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.
This racket
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.
