The problem

My current racket feels too soft: my smashes lack the punch to finish the point.

How it helps your game

The Vortex is built for attacking padel: a 16K carbon fibre face over an EVA core gives a firm, direct response, and the balance point at 260 mm moves weight towards the head for more power overhead.

At 365 g with a 38 mm profile, it is a solid, stable racket for players who already control their technique. Each racket comes with a padded cover, in red or blue.

Perfect for…

You play regularly and already master the basic strokes.

You like to attack at the net and finish with the smash.

You want a stiffer, more precise racket than an entry model.

You play league or club tournaments.

01

Red or blue, both with their cover

The Vortex comes in Red or Blue, each with a striking graphic on a white reinforced throat, and each supplied with a padded cover.

The cover protects the carbon face and edges in your bag, so the racket stays in top shape for match day.

02

Power where you need it

The head-heavy balance concentrates mass high on the face, which adds speed to your smashes, bandejas and volleys.

It rewards good technique: players who already prepare their shots early will feel the extra punch immediately, especially on high balls.

03

Stiff 16K carbon on a solid core

The 16K carbon fibre face is stiff and precise, so the ball goes exactly where you aim, with a crisp feel on impact.

Underneath, the EVA inner core keeps the response controlled, and the drilled face keeps the racket quick through the air.

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

Diamond
365 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.
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.

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
This racket
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.
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

Is it suitable for beginners?

Not really. Its stiff 16K carbon face and head-heavy balance are designed for intermediate to advanced players who already have solid technique.

What are the specifications?

16K carbon face, EVA core, 38 mm thickness, 450 mm length, 365 g (±10 g) and a balance point at 260 mm (±10 mm).

Is a cover included?

Yes, both the red and the blue version come with a padded cover.

Is it comfortable for my arm?

A stiff carbon racket transmits more feedback than a soft beginner model. If you suffer from elbow pain, consult a professional before changing equipment.

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.
