The problem

You want a diamond racket with real grip on the ball, without paying for carbon you do not need.

How it helps your game

The Grit has a sandpaper-finish face on a diamond head. The rough surface adds friction at contact for more spin, and the diamond shape moves weight towards the top to add pace to your attacking shots.

Choose the material: fibreglass is the most flexible and affordable, while 12K, 18K and full carbon give a firmer, more direct response. Every version has a 15-17 EVA core, a 38 mm profile and a soft PU grip.

Perfect for…

You like to attack and finish points at the net.

You want more spin on your shots.

You want to choose your face material.

You like a plain black racket.

01

Rough face, more spin

The face has a sandpaper finish: a rough texture that grips the ball for a split second longer at contact.

That helps on slice volleys, topspin lobs and kick serves. The supplier adds a matte 3D texture to the same idea.

02

Carbon or fibreglass: your choice

Fibreglass is softer and more forgiving. 12K and 18K carbon are firmer, with a more direct response; full carbon is the supplier's all-carbon version.

The versions are not identical in look, so check the photo of the one you choose.

03

A diamond head for attacking play

The diamond shape puts more weight at the top of the racket, which adds power on smashes and volleys.

It suits players who already control their strokes. The 15-17 EVA core and 38 mm profile keep the feel comfortable.

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
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.
This racket
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
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

Which material should I choose?

Fibreglass is the most flexible and forgiving; 12K and 18K carbon are firmer and more direct. If you are unsure, 12K carbon is a good middle ground.

Do the four versions look the same?

No. They are all black, but the face pattern, grip and holes differ: each version has its own photo, and the photo shows the racket you receive.

What does the sandpaper finish do?

It makes the face rough, which adds grip on the ball for spin. The texture wears gradually with play.

Which level is it for?

The diamond shape suits intermediate to advanced players who like to attack. Beginners usually prefer a round head.

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.
