The problem

You can hit the ball hard enough, but it comes off your racket flat and without spin.

How it helps your game

The Iris combines a 12K carbon hybrid face with a matte 3D texture. The texture grips the ball a little more at contact, so brushing up or under it produces more spin, while the carbon keeps the response firm and direct.

The teardrop shape is a middle ground: more reach at the top than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond. Inside there is an EVA core of 15-17 hardness, and the frame is full carbon.

Perfect for…

You play regularly and want to start working on spin.

You are moving up from a fibreglass or entry racket.

You want a teardrop shape that mixes control and power.

You like a bold graphic on court.

01

A textured face for more spin

The face has a matte finish with a 3D texture. That roughness gives the ball more to grip at contact, which helps on slice volleys and topspin from the back of the court.

Under the texture, the 12K carbon hybrid face keeps the response firm, so a clean contact feels direct.

02

Teardrop: the all-round shape

A teardrop head sits between a round and a diamond racket. The sweet spot stays reasonably generous, while the slightly higher balance adds pace when you attack.

It suits intermediate players who want one racket for defending and finishing points.

03

Pick your accent colour

Every version has the same black face with an iridescent P graphic. Only the details on the throat and frame change: red, orange, light green or sky blue.

The PatsSport logo and lettering appear on the face, throat and handle, as in the photos.

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
Teardrop
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
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

Which level is it for?

It suits intermediate players: the 12K carbon face is firmer than fibreglass and the teardrop shape mixes power and control. A confident beginner can grow into it.

Does the textured face really help with spin?

The matte 3D texture adds friction between the ball and the face, which helps when you brush the ball for slice or topspin. Technique still does most of the work.

What is the core made of?

An EVA foam core of 15-17 hardness, inside a full carbon frame.

Are the four colours the same racket?

Yes. The face, shape and materials are the same; only the accent colour on the throat and frame changes.
