The problem

You want more pace on your smashes but your current racket feels dull at impact?

How it helps your game

The Checkmate puts an 18K carbon fibre face on a diamond head. The stiff carbon returns your energy directly, and the diamond shape carries extra weight towards the top for overheads and flat drives.

An EVA core, hardness 15-17, keeps the response firm without feeling harsh. The racket weighs about 360 g with an 80 sq in face. The grey checkerboard weave sits inside a white frame, with a small PatsSport logo and a black grip.

Perfect for…

You are an advanced player who likes to take the net.

You want a firm racket that adds power to your overheads.

You prefer a sober, technical look.

01

18K carbon you can see

The face is 18K carbon fibre, and the weave shows through as a grey checkerboard. It is a stiff material that sends the ball back fast and gives clear feedback on every hit.

That precision suits players with a settled technique rather than beginners.

02

Built for the attacking game

The diamond head moves the balance towards the top. When you smash or volley flat, that extra mass adds pace without forcing your swing.

With about 360 g in total, it stays quick enough to defend at the net when the ball comes back.

03

White frame, wrist strap included

A clean white frame outlines the dark carbon face, with a small PatsSport P logo near the throat and a black grip.

The wrist strap is fitted to the handle, as padel rules expect. The racket is sold 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

18K carbon
Diamond
Medium EVA core
Matte finish
360 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.

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.
This racket
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
This racket
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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Checkmate for beginners?

No, it is aimed at advanced players. A stiff 18K face and diamond head reward precise technique. If you are starting out, choose a round racket with a soft core.

How much does it weigh?

About 360 g, with a tolerance of 10 g.

Will it strain my arm?

Stiff carbon rackets pass on more of the impact than soft ones. Warm up, build up gradually and consult a professional if you have elbow pain.

Does it come with a cover?

No cover is listed. You receive the racket with its grip and wrist strap.

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.
