The problem

You are starting padel and do not want to spend a fortune on a racket you do not understand yet.

How it helps your game

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

  • Carbon–fibreglass blend

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.

  • Close-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.

  • This racketClose-up of a Carbon–fibreglass blend racket face

    Carbon–fibreglass blend

    Part carbon, part fibreglass. The feel sits between the two: livelier than fibreglass, softer than full carbon.

  • 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.

  • Close-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.

Which one is for me?

A starting point by level. Your own feel on court always comes first.

Not sure? A round or teardrop racket with a soft or medium core suits most club players.

Frequently asked questions

Is it right for a complete beginner?
Yes. It is designed for players starting padel: the 50% carbon build is easy to handle while you learn the basic shots.
What is the difference with a full carbon racket?
A racket made entirely of carbon is stiffer and more demanding, which suits experienced players. A 50% carbon build is more forgiving and better suited to your first months on court.
What comes in the box?
The racket and its bag. The racket has its wrist strap fitted on the handle.
Will I outgrow it quickly?
It covers your first lessons and first season of games. When you play several times a week and want more power, our intermediate range is the natural next step.
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.
