The problem

Your shots go over the net flat, with no spin to keep them low?

How it helps your game

The Aurum gives its 12K carbon face a 3D sand finish. The texture lets the face grip the ball as you brush it, so you can add topspin or slice and keep the ball low after the bounce.

The diamond head carries extra weight to the top for pace on overheads. Inside, an EVA foam core (hardness 15-17) sits in a 100% carbon graphite frame. It weighs about 365 g, measures 460 mm and is 38 mm thick, with an 80 sq in face.

Perfect for…

You play several times a month and want to add spin.

You enjoy attacking with overheads.

You like a metallic, eye-catching finish.

A textured face for spin

01

A textured face for spin

The 3D sand finish gives the 12K carbon face a rough feel. When you brush the ball, the texture helps it bite, for more topspin on drives and more slice on defensive shots.

The carbon underneath keeps the response crisp on flat hits.

Diamond shape, carbon frame

02

Diamond shape, carbon frame

The diamond head puts the weight towards the top of the racket, which adds pace to smashes and volleys without extra effort.

The frame is 100% carbon graphite, with an EVA foam core (hardness 15-17), 38 mm thick, for a firm yet controlled feel.

Three metallic colourways

All three are sold from one piece, with the PatsSport logo exactly as photographed.

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

  • 12K carbon
  • Diamond
  • Medium EVA core
  • Sandy (textured) finish
  • 365 g ± 10 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • This racketClose-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
  • This racketPlain 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
  • This racketCross-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.

  • This racketClose-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.

Frequently asked questions

What level is the Aurum for?
It suits intermediate players who already control the ball and want more spin and pace. A beginner will find a round, soft-core racket easier.
How heavy is it?
About 365 g, with a tolerance of 10 g, for a length of 460 mm.
Does the sand finish wear off?
Any textured face smooths a little with play. Wipe it after each session and avoid scraping it on the ground or the walls.
Does it come with a cover?
No cover is listed. The racket comes with its grip and wrist strap fitted.
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.
