The problem

Your current racket feels dead on hard shots and you want more precision from your game.

How it helps your game

This racket uses a 12K carbon fibre face in a fully carbon construction, for a firm and direct response. The teardrop frame lifts the sweet spot, giving you more reach on difficult balls.

Inside, an EVA memory core with a hardness of 15-17 keeps the feel stable and absorbs the shock of impact. It is 38 mm thick with a 260 mm balance, and the cushioned grip wicks moisture to keep your hold steady.

Perfect for…

You play several times a week and want a step up in precision.

You like a firm, direct feel on drives and volleys.

You want a sober black and green racket without loud graphics.

12K carbon for a direct response

01

12K carbon for a direct response

The face is made of 12K carbon fibre, part of a fully carbon construction that combines stiffness, durability and stability.

It rewards clean technique: the ball comes off the face quickly and where you aimed it.

Teardrop frame, 260 mm balance

02

Teardrop frame, 260 mm balance

The teardrop frame offers a wider hitting zone on stretched shots, while the 260 mm balance keeps the racket quick in the hand.

At 38 mm thick, it has the profile of a full-size adult racket.

Inside the racket

03

Inside the racket

Under the carbon face sits an EVA memory core with a hardness of 15-17, chosen for stable performance and shock absorption.

The handle has a cushioned, moisture-wicking grip and a wrist strap so the racket stays in your hand.

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

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.

  • Close-up of a Fibreglass racket face

    Fibreglass

    Flexible and forgiving. The ball leaves the face easily with little effort, which suits beginners and relaxed games.

  • Close-up of a 3K carbon racket face

    3K carbon

    The finest carbon weave. Light and responsive, with a good balance between feel and stiffness.

  • This racketClose-up of a 12K carbon racket face

    12K carbon

    A wider weave and a firmer face. More direct response, a little less give on soft shots.

  • Close-up of a 18K carbon racket face

    18K carbon

    Stiffer still. A firm, precise feel for players who already generate their own pace.

  • Close-up of a 24K carbon racket face

    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.

  • Plain black padel racket with a Round head, front view

    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 racketPlain black padel racket with a Teardrop head, front view

    Teardrop

    Sweet spot in the middle of the head and a medium balance. The all-rounder, for players who defend and attack.

    Power
    Control
  • Plain black padel racket with a Diamond head, front view

    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.

  • Cross-section of a racket with a Soft EVA foam core

    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
  • Cross-section of a racket with a Medium EVA foam core

    Medium Density 15–17

    A balanced foam: comfortable enough for long rallies, firm enough to finish the point.

    Density
    Comfort
    Power
  • Cross-section of a racket with a Hard EVA foam core

    Hard Density 19–22

    A dense, firm foam that rewards fast, full swings with maximum power. Less comfortable on slow balls.

    Power

Surface finish

The top coat changes how the face looks, how it ages and how much it grips the ball.

  • Close-up of a Glossy racket surface

    Glossy

    A smooth, shiny clear coat that makes colours stand out and wipes clean easily.

  • Close-up of a Matte racket surface

    Matte

    A satin, non-reflective coat with a premium look. It shows fewer fingerprints and small marks.

  • Close-up of a Sandy (textured) racket surface

    Sandy (textured)

    A gritty, rough coat that grips the ball a little more on brushed shots, to help you add spin.

Frequently asked questions

What level is it for?
The supplier lists it for all players, but a 12K carbon face with a firm feel is best appreciated by regular, improving and advanced players.
Is the core soft or hard?
The EVA core has a hardness of 15-17, a medium setting between soft and hard foams.
How heavy is it?
The supplier does not state the weight, so we do not quote one. It is 38 mm thick with a 260 mm balance.
Is a firm racket hard on the elbow?
A firmer racket transmits more feedback. If you have elbow pain, consult a professional before changing equipment.
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.
