The problem

Your first racket feels soft and slow, and you want more bite on your smashes and volleys?

How it helps your game

The Cyclone pairs an 18K carbon fibre frame with a carbon face and an EVA foam core. The teardrop head keeps the weight slightly towards the top, at a balance of about 260 mm, so the racket helps you finish points without becoming hard to steer.

It weighs about 365 g and measures 455 mm long, 260 mm wide and 38 mm thick, with a 125 mm grip and a wrist strap. It is sold exactly as photographed, with the PatsSport logo.

Perfect for…

You play regularly and your technique is settled.

You want a firm carbon racket that adds pace to your attacking shots.

You like a teardrop head, between control and power.

You want a bold sky blue design or a discreet black one.

01

A carbon structure that answers your swing

The frame is made from 18K carbon fibre and the face from carbon fibre. Carbon is stiffer than fibreglass, so more of your effort goes back into the ball.

The result is a direct, lively response that rewards clean contact. Players still learning the basic strokes may prefer a softer racket from our beginner range.

02

Teardrop shape, 38 mm thick

The teardrop head places the sweet spot slightly higher than a round racket, with a balance of about 260 mm. It suits players who build the point and then accelerate.

The 38 mm EVA foam core, hardness 15-17, gives a firm feel. The open throat with its turquoise bridge keeps the head stable.

03

Two colourways, sold as photographed

Choose sky blue, a black face with a large blue-to-turquoise dotted P graphic, or black, with a plain black face and throat.

Both come with a white grip and a wrist strap, and carry the PatsSport logo exactly as in the photos: what you see is what you receive.

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
Teardrop
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.

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
This racket
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
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.
Matte

A satin, non-reflective coat with a premium look. It shows fewer fingerprints and small marks.
This racket
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 Cyclone suitable for beginners?

It is designed for players who already play regularly. The 18K carbon frame and firm EVA core give a lively, direct feel that rewards good technique. If you are just starting, a softer racket from our beginner range will be more forgiving.

How heavy is it?

About 365 g, with a tolerance of 10 g either way. The balance point is around 260 mm, which places a little weight towards the head of this teardrop racket.

Does it come with a cover?

No cover is listed for this racket. It comes with its grip and wrist strap fitted.

Will it be hard on my arm?

A firm carbon racket passes on more of the impact than a soft one. Warm up, build up your playing time gradually, and consult a professional if you have elbow pain.

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.
