The problem

Want a stiff carbon racket without the dark, aggressive look most of them have?

How it helps your game

The Gingham puts an 18K carbon fibre face on a 100% carbon graphite frame. It gives the direct response players look for in carbon, while staying light at about 360 g.

The EVA foam core, hardness 15-17, keeps the feel firm and balanced. The face measures 80 sq in, the racket is 465 mm long and 3.7 cm thick, and the soft PU leather grip is comfortable in the hand. Choose sky blue, yellow or pink checks on a white frame.

Perfect for…

You play regularly and want an 18K racket.

You prefer a light racket at the net.

You want something that looks fresh and different.

01

18K carbon in a light frame

The face uses 18K carbon fibre (T700) and the frame is 100% carbon graphite. Together they give a stiff, precise response to every shot.

At about 360 g, the racket stays quick to bring up for volleys and easy on the wrist over a long match.

02

Checks you will not lose in the bag

The face carries a pastel checkerboard in sky blue, yellow or pink, framed in white, with a small PatsSport P logo near the throat.

It is sold exactly as photographed, and the three colours make a great set for a group of friends.

03

Comfortable grip, white handle

The handle is wrapped in a soft PU leather grip in white, with a wrist strap fitted, as the rules of padel expect.

Add a thin overgrip if you prefer a thicker handle or want to keep the original grip clean.

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
Round
Medium EVA core
Glossy 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.

This racket
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
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.

This racket
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.

Is the white frame hard to keep clean?

Wipe it with a damp cloth after playing. Frame protection tape also helps protect the edge from marks.

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.
